Lindberg model kits

Here is one for Al Huffman It’s a Car!

I heard you wanted to see more car stuff. I am experimenting with Tamiya TS17 Gloss Aluminium, TS Candy Lime Green, and Testors 1113 Dark Metallic Green on a very inexpensive Lindberg Chevy. This is really a (how much Future floor wax [...]

Lindberg (Inpact) 1/48 Bristol Bulldog

This model was done in around 2003, having been purchased a couple years earlier. Finding the SMER kit with the better decals at an "aftermarket decal sheet price" prompted me to pull the kit out of the closet and proceed. The [...]

UFO's--Serious Business!

At least they were to a young modeler in 1958. The Lindberg "Flying Saucer" was a big deal to me and was my first model I was allowed to build all by myself. Like many kids of the 1950's, I was a big fan of space [...]

My first love: Lindberg F-86A Sabre Jet.

This was my first love in 1958. I was 10 years old. This is the box top I remember. I don't have the model kit anymore, but thanks to the Internet I was able to retrieve good old memories. There is an anecdote to this story. In 1958 I had [...]

YAMATO, World’s Largest Plastic Ship Model…

...at least in 1970 it was. When stationed in Boston, Massachusetts I took a walk to the local hobby shop and purchased this kit. At a whopping' 40" in length, the YAMATO was a handfull as I carried it back to my ship along crowded [...]

“Trick or Treat” 2

The Zombie Killa II, as promised, was the mate to ZK I. This one was "designed" to compliment the other, and pack the punch. Again, a Lindberg Sd.Kfz 222 was the starting point. Lowered front end (only) opened rear engine [...]

“Trick or Treat” I

In celebration of one of our more infamous holidays, Halloween, I thought I might kick things off with a pair of Zombie Killas. I'll start off with Z.K. I, next post, Z.K. II, and finally the two, together. By the time it's finally [...]

1/72 Lindberg Heinkel He-219

What do you do with a Lindberg kit ? What do you do with one that's missing parts? Can't give it away, or sell it, so just have some fun with it ! Take a color you have little use for, some decals, you don't need and build a [...]

1/48 Lindberg Goose

I can never get enough seaplanes and amphibs ! As old and as crude as this kit is, it still builds up into a fair looking model. Being a lindberg, the price is right, even if the detailing is not. There's no interior to speak of, but [...]

When the US Air Force had a Navy!

This is my rendition of the old (and I do mean OLD) Lindberg Models 1950's era USAF air/sea rescue boat. I built a similar model as a youngster and couldn't figure why it didn't include torpedo tubes like my Revell PT boat. It was a [...]
