FROG F324 Gloster Javelin, Tri-ang Pedigree (NZ) Ltd, 1969
Tri-ang/Frog (NZ)
Lines Bros. (N.Z.) Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand (to Feb. 1969);
Tri-ang Pedigree (N.Z.) Ltd. PO Box 14-146, Panmure, Auckland 6, New Zealand (from Feb. 1969)
Period; 1967?-1972?
In February 1969 the company name was changed and subsequent new kit releases had a new style of box with new artwork for some kits. Decals were standard Frog.
In 1971 the company was dis-associated with Britain and certain product ranges dropped. This included plastic kits which were soon discontinued.
The ultimate fate of the moulds has not been conclusively established. They are said to have been sold to another NZ toy manufacturer in 1977, but no details are known. Rumour has it that they were bought by Lincoln Industries Ltd. and shipped to Lincoln in Hong Kong, but that they were lost or destroyed while en route. This is unconfirmed, however.
Tri-ang Pedigree did, for all practical purposes, cease to exist in 1978 and all their records have been destroyed.
