This is a '57 Hawk from Anson, done many years ago.

Great model Mike. Never saw this before but I like it. Anson always seemed to get the proportions correct on their models but sometimes got a little laxed on the details. As the owner of a 1/1 1963 Thunderbird Sports Roadster, the Anson model is spot on visually but the engine compartment leaves a lot to be desired. Also, the deck lid opens like a hardtop where as the convertible is hinged in the rear.

Thanks, Bob. It's not too common but it's a very nice Golden Hawk model. It seems Yat Ming Signature's 1958 Hawk was extremely good and done at a higher price/detail point, as would be expected with the Signature series from YM.
Anson did some good models. I had their 1963 Thunderbird, but had to downsize a bit and kept my Welly 1962 top-up convertible. Anson's 1953 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is cool and I have a blue one and a red version. I think one of the best Anson's was their really neat 1938 Buick Y-Job. A terrific model to have in 1/18 !
