Lindbergs BIG surprise, literally speaking.

[Uruk-Hai]

A stagecoach in 1/16??? Im really curious about the quality, Im not expecting top of the line but at least something to work with.

Seems like its up for release in Nürnberg.

Cheers

I think it is a re-release of an very old kit from the (?) 60ties. But great!

blast from the past

Ah, that takes me back..I remember this from the 70's.
You will be surprised that despite the age the kit is very very reasonable and if they have done some maintenance on the moulds it should still be as good.
The horses are a bit stiff and all the harness straps were a strange rubbery substance but you get a good coach,driver, shotgun rider,gents and ladies for inside and a gramps figure carrying a case to add to all the boxes and trunks on the roof.Also included were decal/stickers for the Wells fargo logo.
I might be tempted again) I am sure though that the price I paid back then will be a fraction what it is now...
Lindberg is also re-popping the same scale kit of the horse drawn civil war cannon team..
For the Air minded there is also the magnificent Graf Zeppelin....3 foot long!!!!!!The new owners seem very serious about these great old kits..

i hope so because i have seen the stagecoach done without their added on details and scratch build details added on and they where beautiful models.

Do you know of any pictures of those kits, Lolok?
The canon sounds interesting.

Looks like the box cover of my "Fort Apache" toy kit from the '60's.

I have the artillery piece, limber, and team kit. I will be glad to part with it as my 55-yr-old eyes much prefer 54mm and smaller subjects. --

Also I join to a question - " Do you know of any pictures of those kits, Lolok? "

I had a look yesterday after writing the reply and I see they are doing both the Union and the Confederate gun teams.Slightly different layouts.
