Davey Weird-Ohs

The Dirty Dozen: Weird-ohs Roll Call! It’s not surprising that collectors of all ages go after these unique Weird-ohs model kits exclusively from Hawk! For years, modelers have not had the way-out opportunity to purchase this wildly wonderful series of wacky kits. Each crazy custom character offers hours of model building mayhem and makes for a delightful display in any collection. Why are Weird-ohs so popular? Are you nutz, just take a look at ‘em! What could be more fun than a kit that is simple to build, (Recommended for ages 8+), and you don’t have to be a Rembrandt to paint! You get to customize these crazy creeps in your own psycho color schemes! You don’t have to follow the rules… Because there are no rules. How Weird! The whole crazy idea started around 1962, in the wonderfully funny mind of Bill Campbell, "I was sure that most model builders were growing weary of just another car or plane kit. So one day, I put on my thinking cap and tried to come up with something that was really way-out”. Presenting his ideas to Hawk, Bill was told “They are interesting. We’ll see what the folks think.” And, that was that! What An Intro! In 1963, at the Chicago Hobby convention, the Weird-ohs gang bust onto the scene… At first people didn’t know how to take them! Soon however, the strange little creatures became the talk of the convention, and salespeople started writing up orders… By the thousands! The introduction of the Weird-ohs was a roaring success.
