Description: Weird-Ohs Car-Icky-Tures Killer McBash #16009 Hawk Classics Model KitSealed New in Box Hawk Model Company was founded in 1928 and was one of the first American manufacturers to produce injection molded polystyrene kits. The company was started by the Mates brothers in Chicago, Illinois and molded various aircraft and vehicles. How did Hawk come up with the Weird-ohs concept? The genesis lies with a talented artist responsible for much of their box art, Bill Campbell. According to the artist himself, he thought model builders were becoming weary of having “just another car or plane kit.” So he designed and built five hand-made prototypes, including Davey, Daddy and Digger.He showed his unique sculptures to the Mates brothers who told him, “These are interesting, Bill. We’ll think about them.” He assumed this reaction indicated the customary “friendly kiss of death” for his idea, according to Campbell, but later that same week a group of distributors happened to meet in the Mates’ conference room after a plant tour. They raved over the “crazy, funky little models” serendipitously left there and encouraged Hawk to produce kits.
