Many thanks for this. It a good thing to dust off the old synapsis from time to time!

Martin,

What an awesome collection!

Trivia: some (or all) of these were reissued by Pyro, and then Life-Like. I don't know where they went after L-L, although the (not pictured) Gloster Gladiator, Bristol Bulldog, Hawker Hunter, and presumably the Fairey Flycatcher went to Lindberg.

Ah, Life-Like, that does bring back a few memories. I found a LL Boxite for sale in a grocery store(of all places!). I too wonder what happened to them.

Talked to Lindberg a few years ago at the international toy show in New York, (just before they reintroduced their line. I asked them about the Pyro/Lifelike kits and the owner (sorry I don't have his name) said he had them all but he was starting with the classic Lindberg Line.
