Hi Matthew! Your paper model was published by Leon Schuyt in Alkmaar, Holland. He has made many more paper models, many dutch houses and windmills, but also ships and airplanes. We have been for holydays near Alkmaar a few times. Mr. Schuyt has a paper model showroom in his house and I Was allowed to see it some years ago and itwas very interresting . We like paper models too, but Thade is better in building them. Greetings from Nordfriesland Germany! Ralf 5:54
I've seen the Lindberg "Bull Horn" kit in a hobby store several years ago, thought it was neat, but I found it to be too big at the time. Maybe I could give it a shot, but it would *not* be like the one on the box top, I'm thinking a nice deep blue paint scheme with flames and skulls. OR a light pink paint scheme and call it the *Titty Twister!* 😅😆
Ive had 2 Bull Horns. I got the 1st one as a basket case at a swap meet, the second i bought new in the early 2000s. That one is as of yet unbuilt. They are really kool kits. BTW, the Big T is ⅛ scale.
Looks like a nice. Barely remember seeing this one at Swap Meets. There is no bar code on the box, so it must from the early to mid- seventies. I started building in '68. Good choice of kits back then. Really good ones nice. Thanks for sharing, Matt.
Old Pyro kit. The six carbs are 1bbl Stromberg 97s. They were very popular for multiple carb set-ups on hot rods of the fifties and sixties. The six carbs were exotic and looked way cool. But they were old, even then. I believe the 97s originally came out in the 30s, but they were certainly in wide use in passenger cars in the ‘40s. For high performance applications, the 97s were superseded by more advanced 4bbl carbs. By the mid-sixties (this car notwithstanding) the 97s had fallen out of use by hot rodders, except maybe for a few show cars, like this model.
Round2 Reissued the Serpent Lindberg model kit. I'm sure there are parts from both kits that match. I wasn't happy with the tires, so I made a mold to cast in resin. The chrome tree is the same in both kits.
Nice walk through of the kit, I was just looking at one of those on eBay, still kicking around picking it up or not. I believe I also have some of those old plaques somewhere, received them as a kid from a family member, very cool!
Hey Matthew, looks like others have beat me to it with the origins of this as a Pyro kit. But I can add that the red-white-blue Lindberg logo plus the J. Lloyd connection puts this reissue between 1999-2013. 🙂
Nice additions Matthew, thanks for sharing. I've never seen that kit before so I'm no help. Looks like it would be a nice kit to really go nuts detailing. 👍👍
Hi from the UK. Enjoy your content, would love to get some of these older kits here. I remember the vintage car plaques back in the 70's, being sold at the local decoraters/wallpaper shop. A quick look on Scalemates over here shows this kit was originally released as TeeNT by Pyro in 1965. In 1979 Linberg reboxed and released as Bull Horn and again reboxed in 2013, still as Bull Horn but with the official Ford logo. As yours appears to have. Hope this helps.
At first I was confused then I realized this is a 1/16th scale kit and not the common 1/8th scale. Originally issued by Pyro in 1965 as the Tee N T Sho-Go Street Rod Re-boxed in 79 under the Lindbergh name with new boxart
Yup. Former "Tee N T" PYRO kit. It should appear on Scalemates as that kit. Pyro did at least one more 1/16 scale hot rod kit also. Lindberg ended up with a number of Pyro tools.
The Monogram Big "T" was really truly big being 1/8 scale. I agree this has an uncanny resemblance to that model. Perhaps someone at Monogram shrunk the model into 1/16 tooling at some point thinking it would sell well if it were smaller? Not sure how Lindberg is involved. But I wanted all the 1/8 Monograms in 1979 and recall the Jaguar or Corvettes would set you back $30 - that's $130 in today's tiny money. A 1/16 kit would sell around $15, or $65 today. I had to mow a lot of yards to make $30! It would be interesting to see if the parts on the trees are similar to the 1/8 Big "T" tool. If it was just mimicked I'd expect to see a lot of differences in the parts. Lindberg had a Big Red Rod in 1/8 but it looks much different.
I would scan the paper models, import them into Adobe Illustrator and cut them out on the laser cutter. Side note: my "big" Ram Promaster is a rebadged Fiat Ducato
Seeing that kit, does anybody remember when, I think it was Jo-Han kits that had the top of the body and you had to glue the sides of the kit to the top of the body.
Released in 1979. Retails now between ~$50 - $70 if still wrapped and unopened. Don’t know why you are stumped about it. It’s all over the web if you Google it !
I’m not sure how young you are but when I was a kid and God was still wearing short pants, my uncle used to give me calendars that had similar plastic older cars like those. After that year was over I’d get another calendar and cut the other one off and hang them on my wall. I loved them. Once when my wife and I moved, she threw them away. I WAS PISSED!!!! I should have picked up on something then. She went nutso one time and swiped ALL the cars that I had built growing up. I was so broken hearted that I couldn’t bring myself to try to put them back together. Yes I’m still married to her but I still haven’t been able to get over that. And things have never been the same.
Ah, to get the search to 'go' at Scalemates, you have to be very specific: Spelling out the first 'tee' and then the spacing between the 'n' and the second 't' Like Tim did down below
I dont think its ss old as you suspect because it has Ford licensing on the cover which wasnt required my manufacturers until the 90s. My guess it probably manufactured post-2000. Check the legal copyright date printed on the box someplace or on the instructions
Seeing the, I assume, the Spanish translation on the box, and you know what happens when one assumes. From what I could find on the Weird World Web, Spanish started coming to American products around the late 70s and 80s. Maybe this helps very little.
Sir have a look on the paper work that comes with the kit it my give the date it was billit and bye who the manufacturer and what country it was billit in.
It looks lik the 1/8 bobtail t that lenberg Maybe related to that goffy kit with cobra sets that lenberg made the wheels look the same Fiat stands for fix it again Tommy
it is on Scalemates, Lindberg 72320, "Bull Horn" from 1979, reissued in 2013 with same box art, originally was the Pyro "Tee N T" from 1965

That's cool about the highway pioneers being the first plastic model kits.

Building Models Since The 60s.. Like Myself. Its Cool. But Being A Member Of A Model Club From The 60s Is Even Better. Model On!
That 3rd one made me think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!! 🤣

The Bull Horn was sold at Ollie's maybe around 2018.......pretty cool kit
Thanks for reminding me. I have this kit,and I thought I had bought it new somewhere. Yep. Ollies.
AWESOME .
O yea . Great kit .

Mike Espo .
I know nothing about this model. Good luck in finding the information you are looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Nice additions Matthew, thanks for sharing. I've never seen that kit before so I'm no help. Looks like it would be a nice kit to really go nuts detailing. 👍👍
You always come up with some great kits 👍🏿 cool stuff
Nice gifts!! And kool Linberg kit!! I don't think I've ever seen that particular kit!

Bull Horn
Model "T" Hot Rod
Lindberg | No. 72320 | 1:16
Boxart Bull Horn 72320 Lindberg found it on ScaleMates I think it is from 1979
Cool kit. I also watch The Barn Find Hunter and have been a fan of that series on the Hagerty UA-cam channel for many years.
I agree with an earlier comment, use the template for thin plastic sheets.
At first I was confused then I realized this is a 1/16th scale kit and not the common 1/8th scale.
Originally issued by Pyro in 1965 as the Tee N T Sho-Go Street Rod
Re-boxed in 79 under the Lindbergh name with new boxart
Monogram Big T was 1/8th scale when first released in the early 60s, they made a 1/24 Little T in the late 60s that was a scaled down Big T
Thanks for sharing
Yup. Former "Tee N T" PYRO kit. It should appear on Scalemates as that kit. Pyro did at least one more 1/16 scale hot rod kit also. Lindberg ended up with a number of Pyro tools.

If it was just mimicked I'd expect to see a lot of differences in the parts. Lindberg had a Big Red Rod in 1/8 but it looks much different.
Grandpa Marks Hobbies just built a large t bucket. And Sheldon Rothwell (Outlaw Speed Shop), built a coupe back in 2021.
I would scan the paper models, import them into Adobe Illustrator and cut them out on the laser cutter.
Side note: my "big" Ram Promaster is a rebadged Fiat Ducato
1965 Pyro TNT, 1979 Lingberg Bull Horn, reissued 2013 Lindberg Bull Horn with Ford license
Seeing that kit, does anybody remember when, I think it was Jo-Han kits that had the top of the body and you had to glue the sides of the kit to the top of the body.
I like model car very much.
HPI guy in the past has used rubber cement to piece together those real rubber 2 piece tires btw
Those paper cutout models, maybe use them as patterns for styrene sheet parts? 👍
Nice 😎😁
Possibly sold in Canada originally. Says Made in USA and underneath Fabrique aux E.U. So the English/French messages are a giveaway
I read in model cars that it was an old pyro kit from 1965.
Pyro Tee N T Dragster - kit# C-183. Taken from a 1966 Pyro kit poster.
Shoe goo on the tires. Tough to work with but it will work!
Clean with denatured alcohol first to remove mold release.
Maybe not aluminum but maybe copper or brass or both would be a interesting try
Released in 1979. Retails now between ~$50 - $70 if still wrapped and unopened. Don’t know why you are stumped about it. It’s all over the web if you Google it !

That would have been divorce-worthy for me. 😮
Do color copy of paper cars then cut for pattern for metal(beer)can or paper
Saves original
Various thicknesses of paper to use
Look up Pyro TNT from 1965
Ah, to get the search to 'go' at Scalemates, you have to be very specific: Spelling out the first 'tee' and then the spacing between the 'n' and the second 't' Like Tim did down below
Use rubber cement for the tires
I dont think its ss old as you suspect because it has Ford licensing on the cover which wasnt required my manufacturers until the 90s. My guess it probably manufactured post-2000. Check the legal copyright date printed on the box someplace or on the instructions
Weird. The front tires on mine are one piece. The back wheels are two pieces. Guess some were made differently.
Seeing the, I assume, the Spanish translation on the box, and you know what happens when one assumes. From what I could find on the Weird World Web, Spanish started coming to American products around the late 70s and 80s. Maybe this helps very little.
The serpent hot rod
Does look like it was a early kit.
Old plastic model kits web sight says they were originally a 1965 mold and all proceeding kits came from those molds
Sir have a look on the paper work that comes with the kit it my give the date it was billit and bye who the manufacturer and what country it was billit in.
It looks lik the 1/8 bobtail t that lenberg
Maybe related to that goffy kit with cobra sets that lenberg made the wheels look the same
Fiat stands for fix it again Tommy
