Lindberg model quality

Post by jmar829 »

Hello everybody,
Has anyone experienced building a Lindberg brand models? They're very inexpensive and the box artwork looks like there is very little detail. I've seen them quite a bit online, but I never seem to get a picture of the kinds of details it has ie; panel lines, decals, sprue quality.

Anyways...just wanted to get anyones input on this brand of kits if anyone has an opinion.

Cheers!

I have a couple in the stash.
Not sure about their air kits but the auto ones can be challenging if im being nice.
As mentioned they have older moulds with less detial than the big Japanese companies.
There are some subjects they have, not done by anyone else so if its your only option then be aware you will need plenty of sandpaper and putty.
Stand aside caffine, this is a job for alcohol.
