The Renwal 1/32 kit was reissued once by Revell in the early 80s. Thats more than "a few years ago". The Life Like issue of the older Adams/Snap kit is from 1975 or so. Both kits are rare now.
The Renwal/Revell kit is basic. There is a good build up on a Dutch site with a TON of scratch building. Renwal's kit gave you the launcher, three missiels and a radar trailer. 1/32 is close enough to 1/35 for such a different model. I am mixing the Renwal Skysweeper gun with the Nitto M8 tractor, for example.
The Life Like/Adams kit was sold in three forms... the nicer of the three kits is the one wiht the little tractor. You get the tractor, launcher, and radar trailer. They also had a version with just the tractor and three missiles. There is a third kit with the missiles mounted on a small helicopter.
Crown from Japan sold a "1/35" Hawk missile tractor and rockets, but its really a 1/40 copy of the Life Like kit, despite what the box says.
I think I-Corps made a crappy resin HAWK launcer at one time. |
