Lincoln Short Sunderland III Flying Boat, 1/152, 118
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
From the 1950s with great box art. This is a nice early kit that is close to 1/144 scale. Molded in gloss silver and clear and with a display stand. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing two very small pieces: (1) pilot's control column and a fuselage antenna. Otherwise includes all other parts, color decals and instructions. Lincoln was an injection molding firm located in Hong Kong. Model kits were not their primary business but an important sideline and they established an early international presence. Major countries of distribution were Hong Kong, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Through specialty hobby shops, they often found their way to the West Coast of the USA. As early as 1956 Lincoln reissued about 16 Hawk kits from the USA, often with 'Picture Gallery' artwork. Although not their primary business, they established quite a line of plastic before discontinuing production in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Many molds moved to Kader, also in Hong Kong, who reissued the line. Some molds eventually found their way to the USA either through ATP (who purchased the excess kit stock when Kader sold out) or IM.
