Lone Star Packaging

This portion of the site is dedicated to the various types of packaging used on the Lone Star vehicles.

In the USA various Importers had Lone Star products "badged" under their own brand names to sell in the stores , there was no mention of the Lone Star name on the blister packs or boxes , the only clue was a small "Made in England" .

The Japanese market has always provided colourful packaging and often intersting variations on the models themselves.
