DC-8 Lindberg

Come back to the 80s on, this is the boxart of one of the models from the commercial series Necomisa Lindberg, produced in Mexico under the seal of Pegasus, the model was very modest, the mold comes from the sixties and was one of the Lindberg first works, the DC-8 at the time was one of the most advanced aircraft in the world, and represents very well the technological trends in the modelling industry at that time, solid wings, few parts, no transparent parts, an exhibit based (absent in this version) and very simple decals.

In Mexico was reissued again and again, always keeping the same Boxart, I assume Necomisa buy the molds sometime, for some reason they never made decals for Aeromexico, the national airline in a local version of the plane.

The Boxart represents a plane of Panam, and was always the same, is not signed, it must be an American painter of the sixties or seventies, because the version of Lindberg has the same paint. This is the last national edition, and the box includes a novelty, an Airport model paper to accompany the model.

In the late seventies, the Mexican brand Necomisa produce licensed Lindberg models, although Boxart was something sappy, just a picture with a diffused background obviously no ideas left over them his apartment Design, and perhaps therefore walked in second in sales and marketing. The model itself was good, the instructions noted a Mexican version, 74 of the FAM, but I did not have that decals, but possibly Lindberg original models would bring. 

Boxart unsigned near 1979, another boxart that existed in the previous edition, which unfortunately predates my day and never buy.
