I know Lindberg is almost out of the model business, but when did they start production on the 1/48 P-47N? The reason I am asking this, is that I have discovered a old Kodachrome 35mm slide, from the family archives, that shows a finished model sitting on top of a radio. Behind the model is the box it came in with the Lindberg logo clearly visible. After calling my dad, as this was a picture he took with his Argus C-3 camera, he said that model belonged to a college friend of his and he was pretty sure the pic was made in his last year of college, which was 1953( I was 5 years old!). I always thought that plastic kits weren't available till the late 50s? Were they making them earlier than that? Mike IPMS
