Well after months of blag silence I manage two posts in 3 days. This one about a bargain 1/72 kit I found in my local Home Bargains (UK discount chain). At £1.99 GBP it was a real bargain. Read all about it here link |

Wow. I remember putting together Lindberg Models and Mini Lindy car kits as a kid in the 60s. Thanks for posting and bringing back old memories. |

Not bad for 1.99. Lindberg? Like you I´ve never heard of them..but after a bit of searching link A mixed range of subjects. |

Well I picked up the AA half track and to say it's the same skill level on the front is just a bit misleading, looks a far more complex build. But they also had some 1/72 aircraft, an Arado AR-234B ( link ) and a Kingfisher ( link ). Didn't spot any others. |

I remember this kit from the 70's. It was grey plastic back then. |

I remember this kit from the 70's. It was grey plastic back then. I thought I´d seen it somewhere before… made by Hasegawa link |

bridget the midget the return, the Kingfisher kit can be built with either floats or with fixed landing gear.(until I built this kit, I never knew the Kingfisher had a land based plane version) |

Well I picked up the AA half track and to say it's the same skill level on the front is just a bit misleading, looks a far more complex build. So I am guessing this also a repop of a Hasegawa kit? Maybe this one… link ? |
