Paul Payne Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Anyone out there ever make these in 1/25th scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chryslerjunkandstuff Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) So, it turns out that while there's never been a standard model kit, nor a Danbury Mint type diecast of a '62-64 Studebaker Hawk Gran Turismo.. Which is unfortunate, because they're really cool cars.. There HAVE been resins of em made in the past.. Modelhaus apparently offered a '62 Hawk GT.. S.C. Miller apparently offered a '63 Hawk GT.. (I absolutely LOVE S.C. Miller cars, and would really appreciate getting hands on one of these Hawk GTs if yer listening Santa!) and.. TKM apparently offered a '64 Hawk GT.. (Santa, I also LOVE them TKM cars too!) From what I can tell, those are the only three options for getting a ready made Hawk GT.. Any of them three resin kits will likely be very expensive, and that's IF one could even be found, as they're undoubtedly very rare.. A real ambitious builder could get an AMT '53 Studebaker Starliner kit and transform it into a Hawk GT too I suppose..

Paul Payne Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 Earl, the Modelhaus 1962 GT Hawk is the one I have, and the 53 Studebaker is the donor kit, along with the Avanti engine. I'm hoping I can locate decals for the emblems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chryslerjunkandstuff Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Gotcha! Yer lucky to have gotten one of those! This probably will be of no help : I did a little more searching, and it turns out that Missing Link apparently made a '62 Hawk GT resin kit, and from what I can see, it is the BEST one that anyone ever released as it included some really swell photoetched emblems.. Maybe you'll get lucky and find that photoetch sheet someday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul alflen Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Paul Payne, e-mail Kevin Lutz at Missing Link to see if he has any leftover photo etch from the 62 Stude hawk conversion kit . It is worth a try! Edited December 6, 2023 by paul alflen spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
