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.
Listed as the ‘Barbary Pirate Ship’ (Item No: HL205) at a scale listing of 1/400 and measures about 5-6” when assembled.
John Paul Jones' ship, the Bon Homme Richard (Item No: HL209) is listed as 1/320 scale.
No changes were done to their moldings so by today's standards they are as entry-level as you can get for a model kit but they may have nostalgic appeal to those of us that remember what model kits were like nearly 50 years ago.
Available from various on-line retailers ranging in price from $8.00 to $12.00 (US) plus shipping.
