1/24 Hamann Hawk SLS for Revell

[firun]

Hi all!

Couple of years ago I've bought HobbyDesign transkit for Hamann Hawk but I was unsatisfied with its overall quality (which was poor) and the fact that it was designed for Fujimi curbside kit although on the package and on HLJ site it was said that it's intended for Revell kit.

So I've sold this HobbyDesign kit after months of searching buyer and decided to build my own Hamann Hawk transkit for Revell kit.

Here is comparison of HobbyDesign body and Revell one:

And here is my progress of converting Revell SLS body to Hamann Hawk:

There is a lot of work ahead, but it's worth it considering that HobbyDesign kit was only for Fujimi and more over it has wrong scale 1/24,5-25.

I will cast body and wheels with rubber tires for my friend who collects Mercedes kits and if someone is interested in owning a copy – let me know. I plan to sell it under $20 for body, 4 wheels & rubber tires + decals.

Seems like a cool project, and an affordable end price-point, too! I shall be watching!
