Lindberg Kits from Busch Moulds


The German company Busch+Co KG lauched a series of plastic aircraft kits and built-up models in 1958. Production ended in 1962 and the moulds were sold to Lindberg [3]. Scale was nominally 1:175.

I have not yet a Lindberg catalog of 1962 and 1963 so I cannot determine eactly when the Lindberg ditribution was launched. In any case the licence produced Busch kits appear in the Lindberg 1964/65 catalog. A doublecheck yields, that the ex-Busch kits do not yet appear in the German and US Lindberg 1960 catalogue.
Plastic Kits


In the Lindberg 1964-65 catalog, these kits are enlisted as members of three individual series. This is reflected in the arrangement below.
