Laughing Whale/Midwest Kits

Recommended Posts

I asked this question before but didn't get anything pointing me to more information.  Still want to know, is there a list or archive of all the models produced by Laughing Whale and Midwest over the years.  I remember catalogs from years ago that had a lot of models from these manufactures that no longer are available and no information about them anywhere.  Sometimes I will run across an old ad or an ebay auction for one that I have never seen before.  I know Bluejacket took over Laughing Whale but they only offer a small number of the old kits.

Came across some kits from Midwest that are not on the database.  A level 3 kit of a San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner (1/4" = 1"), a level 4 kit of the 1934 America's Cup challenger Endeavour I (1:35 scale), 50' Harbor Tug (1/2" = 1'), Eastern Rigged Trawler (7/16" = 1'), Downeast Shrimp Dragger (3/4 = 1") and a 29' Bass Boat (3/4" = 1').  Found these in back issues of Ships in Scale.  I believe a couple may be Laughing Whale designs.

 

If anyone has back issues of model magazines or old catalogs I would be interesting in hearing about any other kits that may be in them.
