Hello, Folks; I've just run across two re-issues from Lindberg; the 'Jolly Roger' and 'Captain Kidd'. Both are marketed as "pirate" ships but to my eye they...
The names are probably wrong but not the ship's. Many pirate ship's where brig's and if they managed to defeat a frigate (not unknown), then that would be...
Jolly Roger is actually the name of the well-known pirates flag... ... From: caedave To: Modelships@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 1:38 PM ...
Well, I finally bit the bullet and wrote a check for Lindberg's "Jolly Roger" model, and now my interest is REALLY piqued! What I had thought at first...
Tom, Linbberg cast the name plate sprue and display stand for that kit as a "generic". It was included in two kits, the Jolly Roger and one of the Flying...
I have both ships. On my copy of the "Jolly Roger" on the transom (I think- it's been a couple of years since I've looked at it) I can still see where they...
Delbert, You are exactly right. Years ago, Lindberg built a model of the La Flore. I don't know if it's still in production or not. I always thought that the...
Jim I have a kit for the Merrimack and the Monitor made by Bluejacket. Actually they are two separate kits that I got from a Hobby store going out of business...
... I see no one has given you an "official" welcome to the group. Quite a 'resumay' (well I don't know how to make that funky accented e for the real word.) ...
Howard, I've been having computer problems and haven't been online regularly. I just plain missed your introduction. So, from Der Deustche Kaiserlicht ...
Hey Jim, I'm not sure if the Monitor & Merrimack from Lindberg are still in production but are still available from Model Expo. I think the ones from...
Uhh, as I am a native Virginian, and that battle took place in my home waters. The Merrimack was scuttled and abandoned in Hampton Roads by the US Navy. She...
Rabbit, I'm a Southerner, myself, by birth. I know all about what you're saying, but that's what Lindberg called the kit, even though it wasn't right. Did you ...
Yes, the kit is still in production. My local store has at least three in stock. There is also a new model of the monitor out. It's listed at the Military...
Joe, Thanks, I'm going to get a friend of mine to pick it up for me while he's in the states in a couple of weeks. If he can't find the Lindberg kits, I'll put...

Joe, I may need the help. Locating things on short notice is a problem at times. That bluejacket kit sounds great, but I think they'd be too heavy to bring...
Please take pity on those of us in digest mode and snip previous messages from your replies. Blue Jacket makes very nice kits and has a small museum display...
If any of you guys know anyone who wants kits of the cruisers Aroura or Potempkin, we have a good company here that makes a Tamaya quality kit of each.... This...

Joe, That's not as bad as I thought. It sounds doable. Have you heard anything about a 1:72 kit of CSS Hunley? I heard one's out, but I don't know any more...
Jim Most of the parts already come in a plastic bag, I would want to put them inside another plastic zip lock type of bag. Just a few of the larger parts are...
