This kit is the version reissued by Lindberg in the late 1990s. |
The original kit was tooled by Pyro around 1955, and is quite crude by current standards. |
|
However, with a bit of work, it can be developed into an acceptable model, particularly in view of the fact that no other version of this milestone vehicle has ever been produced. |
I built a version of this kit in the early 60s, and there are a couple of differences between that early version and this one. The early kit did not include chrome plated parts, but in the reissued version, Lindberg corrected that omission. They also included a decal sheet which provided some detailing not present in the original versions.
