Hawk Wild Woodie

[PatW]

Today my latest in this genre, a Hawk Wild Woodie which is identical to the Hawk Sandpiper and similar to the AMT Surf Woody.....

With it's twin the Sandpiper.........

And with the Surf Woody.....

Very cool work!!!!! I have two of the kits and have thought about a detailed build.....using parts to make it more detail....like a motor etc.

Nice ! Don't see them built too often, or ever !

[PatW]

Thanks guys. My best shot of the roof section is this..................

Very cool! You probably now have the World's Largest Collection of this genre.

Cool!  I have a Sandpiper squirreled away in my dune buggy collection.  It is a clunky thing, with bad early 1960s molding and all.  But it's part of our history!

Many years ago I bought an eBay auction for two Sandpiper rebuilders.  I saw it towards the end and it was cheap so I bid quickly without looking too closely.  What comes in the mail?  Two Surf Woodies!  And that was right after the reissue and eventual blow out sale at $5-10 each so I didn't want them.  I messaged the seller, who saw his error and refunded my money.  He told me to keep them, so they are somewhere in my hoard!

Right Tom, give me a shout if you still don't want them.

Thanks guys, I like these so much because we didn't get anything like this in the UK at the time, 60's-70's.
