1/48 557-98 Lindberg Korean War Supersonic Jet Fighter - F-86 Sabre Jet - CelloVision Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Unusual 1950s issue that never even mentions the F-86 on the box art. Ray Gaedke painted the amazing box top artwork; on the back is the clear CelloVision window (in mint condition) and the full color trading card. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The box is in 'good+' condition which is unusual because there were so thin. Even the opened eng panel is in good condition (not torn up like usual). 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.
