Lindberg Kits from Busch Moulds
The German company Busch+Co KG lauched a series of plastic
aircraft kits and built-up models in 1958.
Production ended in 1962 and the moulds were sold to
Lindberg.
Scale was nominally 1:175.
I cannot determine exactly when the Lindberg distribution was
launched [3].
In any
case the licence produced Busch kits appear in the Lindberg
1964/65 catalog, which is the base for this compilation

Plastic Kits
In this catalogue the kits are presented as members
of three individual series. This is reflected in the arrangement
below.
I have no exact information when production ended. The ex-Busch
kits are still present in the German 1968 catalogue, but no
more in the German 1974/75 catalogue.
