Lindberg Lockheed F-80C (P-80) Shooting Star, 1/48, 500-100

Sold
From the early to mid 1950s. Rare very early Lindberg issue with the first Lindberg logo. Molded in gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Paul Lindberg got his start in 1930s model aviation by designing, building and flying stick and tissue aircraft. His plans appeared in Popular Aviation magazine and he soon made a name for himself. When injection molding showed the way to increased kit sales in the late 1940s/early 1950s, he quickly teamed up with Mr. Olsen to create 'O-lin' models. Ray Gaedke was one the the early artists for O-lin, and he help pioneer dramatic and colorful box artwork. In the early 1950s Paul Lindberg was running the company and had the logo changed to his name. The first logo was circular, with 'Lindberg' in middle and 'Products' 'Incorporated' arched across the top and bottom. The second logo is the 'Yellow Square' that is on this kit. Ray Gadke continued his bold and colorful artwork for Lindberg and did this F-80C boxart as well.

Sold
1950s rare issue. Ray Gaedke hardbox artwork has excellent color and gloss. This is a large scale (1/48) 'theoretical' Mig-19. The aircraft never existed in this configuration. However, Aurora made one almost just like it; it is believed that they both used the same magazine drawing as the basis for the Mig models. Molded in high gloss silver and clear. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Lindberg is a company with a fascinating history The original 'Lindberg Line' stretches back to the 1930s when Paul Lindberg drew plans for famous modeling magazines and marketed his balsa wood 'stick and tissue' by urging dealers to carry the '...Complete Lindberg Line'. After the war, Lindberg and Olsen had a strong hand in early United States injection molded kit development. Please see the article located on this website about early USA plastic kit manufacturers.

Otherwise inventoried with all other parts. One fire bucket is a lighter shade of brown; it is from the earlier issue. Includes two types of rigging material, metal chains, rat lines, rat line cutting pattern, instructions, rigging diagrams and flag sheet. NOTE: missing the historical booklet.

NOTE: this is not the version with the factory painted hull. Also, the chainplate/deadeye assembles are very fragile and well-known for breaking. This kit is no exception. But I have accounted for all broken parts and they are present, and sealed into small zip lock bags for safe keeping.
