I saw a nice build of that once as the IDF version.

Here's the recent reissue, just $10 plus shipping. If you have a local hobby shop nearby, they can probably order it for you. Likewise, ask Revell themselves where you can find the reissue. They may be able to sell one to you direct. http://www.revell.com/

I clicked on it and saw a really good price, got all excited and tried to order, and then found out it is listed but unavailable. Crying that's the way it goes. Thanks for looking though!

The reissued Revell kit is out there bouncing around on eBay for around $30:

There is a discrepancy in the scales because the original Adams-designed Revell Hawk missile set was mode in 1/40 scale. Then in the late 70s, Revell took over Renwal molds. Renwal had a 1/32 scale Hawk missile system model kit in their line. Now that Revell has both sets of molds, you never know which one they release since Revell has been known to incorrectly label the scale of their military model kits to suit current modeling trends.

If you have an Ebay account, set up a search for the Revell Hawk Missile Battery and they'll email you whenever one shows up on the site...

Finding Discontinued Models
Posted by radcontech on Saturday, November 19, 2011 9:48 PM

I guess I've been bit by the bug pretty bad. When I decided to do this hobby a few months ago I had a specific idea in mind. Specifically, I had been hired by the navy at the shipyards and wanted to do a model of each ship I worked on and possibly a few other projects thrown in. It has grown way beyond that and am building models as gifts for people. A lady I work with is retired army and operated the hawk missle system. I decided to do a model for her as a surprise but am having difficulty locating one. I know it was made http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/rvl/rvl00016.htm. Revell made it years ago and did a new run of 5000 a while back. Unfortunately I can't seem to locate one here in the U.S.  I'm wondering where the best place is to locate something like this?
