Lindberg announces a February release of a 1/25 scale 1959 Owens Deluxe Cruiser.

"The Cadillac of Boats" as promoted by its manufacturer, the Century Coronado only number about 20 today. The sliding hardtop was a prominent feature for the craft.

What first entered the kit market as Pyro in the 60's and then Life-Like model kits in the 70's eventually ended up under the Lindberg name. Now this month Round 2 has re-released these kits under the Lindberg title that they recently acquired.

Now owned by Round 2 Models, Lindberg is re-releasing many of their classic line of kits. After a 50+ year abscence, I thought this one was worth mentioning.

This just in, Lindberg Models to release to new 1/72 IJN submarines. That’s right folks. Lindberg is set to release their 1/72 I-20 with HA-20 Type "A" Midget, kit #70817 and the I-53 with Kaiten suicide subs, kit #708187 sometime in 2008. Retail price for these kits will be $130.00.
