I just got in Lindberg's re-issue of their Civil War Confederate Horse
Team. Remember the PC BS that went on a while back over the Dukes of
Hazzrd "Gen. Lee" kit re-issue & the Confederate flag? Well, not only
does the box for this kit say "Confederate" but it also has
Confederate flags on the box in sevral places! In all fairness, not
that the PC Brigade would care, Lindberg has also releaesed the Union
version too. Maybe I should bring this to the attention of Rev. Jesse
& the NAACP & ACLU! Way to go Lindberg!

Well, they're obviously selling their kits here in the US of A,
& that's where all this BS is. I doubt their being in England would
stop a PC boycott of the kit.

They're going for mini used needles instead. :-)

No, just bowing to bucks. I doubt there were two guns with the same
caliber, much less limber and team, in any CSA battery, much less
uniform to Union practice. The plans are probably from a USA artillery
manual, or a museum exhibit.
