    Regarding end of production History of BUSCH  says: "In 1962/63 sales of the aircraft models stagnated. The moulds were sold  to a froreign country" (my translation from German).

It is common knowledge that the buyer was Lindberg.

The series of aircraft models and kits is no more present in the Busch 1962/63 catalogue, so I stipulate that production ended in 1962.

I have not yet a Lindberg catalog of 1962 and 1963 so I cannot determine when dsitribution was launched by Lindberg. In any case the licence produced Busch kits appear in the Lindberg 1964/65 catalog.


A doublecheck: the Busch kits do not yet appear in the German and US Lindberg 1960 catalogue.
