As usual, while looking for something else, I came across this amazing catalogue of kits and toys from 1959.
From the Box Art Den site, is this entry for Hobbies Are Fun 1959, which seems to be a catalogue covering the products of various companies, not just kits.
It includes the giant insect kits by Hawk and ITC, including some that do not seem to have been released. Shown in full colour, including photographs of built-up models. Very exciting stuff.
Aircraft, missiles, ships, cars, figures, firearms, paint-by-numbers and mosaic sets, the Matchbox die-cast line is up to 60 models, plus the Models of Yesteryear and Major Packs, model railways, and tools.
Among the kits are the Hawk Beta-1 atomic-powered bomber; Revell Westinghouse Atomic Power Plant; Precision Cruifix; Revell Dr Seuss models; Comet flying models of the Snark and Regulus missiles; and the first releases in the Bachmann Birds of the World series.
Filled with wonderful weirdness.
