Introduction
The early 1960´s, my second phase of modelling was the time of "working" kits from AURORA, MONOGRAM , LINDBERG and REVELL (see How it all Began ). LINDBERG was the exponent for this genre with retracting landig gears, removable jet engines and ejector seats being catpulted out via rubber power. LINDBERG kits are classics of my modelling history.
Not only for the gadgets which would be a horror for contemporary scale modellers but also for their stunning boxarts the early LINDBERG´s eare very collectible for me.
I remember to have built the following Lindberg kits in the early 1960´s:
