binks15 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Lindberg kit, started 15 years ago and finally got around to finishing it. Some parts got lost along the way, so I ended up scratch building the master cylinder and distributor. Refinished in Plasticoat and PPG lacquers, DuPont urethane clear coat. Engine wired and plumbed, underside details include parking brake cable, fuel line, and rear shock mounts, scratch built antenna and bezel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphfan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Lovely model. Love the colours and the engine detailing is spot on, well done. I have always thought the later Lindberg car kits to be well produced and great value Cheers, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandX Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Fab-tastic work, Sir. What is the text in the elongated oval embellishments just above the front wheel arches, by the way? Looks like 'Cadillac'...surely not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Super job! Those old Lindbergh kits can turn out really nicely with love and attention. Good work on the engine bay detailing too. Edited August 27, 2012 by rmcclure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binks15 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Fab-tastic work, Sir. What is the text in the elongated oval embellishments just above the front wheel arches, by the way? Looks like 'Cadillac'...surely not! The script on the side spear says "Crestline" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
