Lincoln/Kader

Post by aerofan »

Does anyone have a list of all Lincoln kits which was later issued by Kader? Also Glencoe in the US reissued some Lincoln kits too.

From the old website: http://gregers.fr.yuku.com/topic/10984/ ... ernational;

Sorry I thought had had copied the link across before now.
I was only aware Lincoln because I have a Glencoe re-boxing of their Bristol Sycamore but got more interested when I saw a couple of their other kits at SMW and the Kader boxing of the Gnat that Paul bought. There is not a lot on the internet about them (almost zilch in fact). I finally found a posting of one of their catalogues though here:

http://www.toltoys.com/2009/10/treasure; ... ncoln.html

Evidently Lincoln International were a New Zealand based toy company in the 60's & 70's whose products (the kits at least) were produced in Hong Kong*. As well as the aircraft kits I've listed below they produced some Gerry Anderson Thunderbirds kits that required some basic clicking together.

* I need to check this fact, I'm sure I saw it somewhere.

Aircraft Kits, ( AFAIK all box scale, I've added figures for the ones we know)

101 (Lockhee) Starfire
102 (Lockheed) Constellation
103 Vickers Viscount
104 (EE) Canberra - 1/96
105 Douglas DC7
106 Bristol Britannia - 1/166
107 Handley Page Victor
108 Vickers Valiant - 1/144
109 Boeing 707
110 Helicopter (Bristol Sycamore) - 1/65, re-released by Glencoe
111 Douglas DC3
112 Fairey Gannet - 1/72, modified Frog tool
113 Folland Gnat - 1/45
114 Auster Autocar
115 Venom Jet
116 Lancaster Bomber
117 Fairey Rotodyne
118 (Shorts) Sunderland - 1/144
119 Fokka (sic) Friendship

Thunderbirds KitSets, with battery powered motor

2001 Thunderbird I
2002 Thunderbird II
2003 Thunderbird III
2004 Thunderbird IV
2005 Lady Penelope's Car
2211 Display Pack

The aircraft kits were re-released by Kader ( a Hong Kong based firm who now make model trains ) in same size boxes. I guess it's possible they did had produced the kits for Lincoln originally as this is their business. Does anyone know if they have appeared in other guises?

Not a CBK manufacturer but at least part of the Commonwealth and produced some interesting kits.

Thanks James. I recalled it was here but when I couldn't find it amongst the list I thought my memory failed me. Did you have one for Aeroclub as well?

This kit has been issued over the years by Lincoln, Kader and, in this case, International Models.

Here's their 1/166 Britannia from a Kader boxing. The decals are fake. They are adapted from a set for a 1/144 Stratocruiser.
