Ideas

A little eye candy I was looking at, thought I would share
Building a lindberg 1\32? from a 34 Ford, looking for some ideas

[BRP32]

Question for you?

Are those lindbergh 1/32 kits something new out or have they been around awhile?

Reason being I was over at Hobbytalk.com on their slot car area and a guy up in Canada has a hobbyshop and was doing video reviews of each of these kits. He has also converted a few to slots.

I really like the old dirt track coupes also and didn't know how readily available the lindbergh kits are?

Did lindbergh just bring them out recently?

I know revell just released a bunch of their 1/32 snaptite kits again.

Thanks for the info you can provide!

You guys know those are Legends cars, right? 1/32 is too small for 1/24 Legends. I think Legends are 3/4 or 2/3ds of full size.

Jon, are you wanting Legends or just coupes with the full fender look like this?



I know it's 1/25...just showing as an example.

The Lindbergh 32 Ford has been re-issued. I think that Pyro did a 1/43rd 34 Ford coach. Pioneer is coming out with 1/32nd Legends cars.

Monogram, Revell and Lindberg all have 1/32 kits of 30's coupes. It seems that the 33/34 Ford is the predominant one though 32, 36 and 40 Fords are around too. One of those companies made a 33/34 sedan but that one is harder to find though I believe Smith Scale Speedway sells a vacuform repop of the sedan. I have one here. If a person weren't married to a specific scale, I imagine that some of these 1/32's could be dolled up with larger diameter wheels and larger drivers to approximate 1/28 or so scale replicas for a Legends series.

A number of years back when I was into 1/32 the first time around pre kids, I was buying '32 coupe,pick up and sedan bodies at Dollar Tree.

They were pretty cheap and crude but served the purpose back then. They were kind of on the smallish side too.

I don't know if they are still sold at Dollar tree or not?

I haven't been in that store in a number of years....

Target at one time was selling cars with candy in them too.

One looked like a '39 Hudson Terraplane and the other looked like a '48 Chevy coupe.

I built many neat dirt track coupes and hot rods with both back then.

The Lindberg kit is a '34 Ford 3 window coupe. I found the one that I have at X-Pect Discounts. According to the box J.Lloyd International is the parent company and the copyright date is 2006.
