Lead hydroplane size of micro machines..

[Bradley Maglinger]

I remember as a kid back in the 80s someone made little Lead (I think) hydroplanes and we used to have a few. They were like the size of a micro machine. Does anyone remeber these? If so id like to find some. Anyhow, have a kick ass weekend everyone!!

Brad, search Ebay with "Hydroplane Pins" there are a few, used to be lots of them listed on Ebay.

I remember some guy in Wash, was making those and selling them. They had a round pin head for the drivers head. Check with David Newton. Maybe he knows..

Curtis I don't remember them having pins on them, maybe we tore those off bc we would play with them like real hydroplanes. I just remeber looking at them at Washington sq mall in evansvile.

Brad,

A guy in Evansville used to make them. I made several masters for his molds back around 1988. I can't remember his name. He specialized in Indy cars. He would make complete sets of the entire field every year and would sell out.

I have a couple molds and made quite a few myself. Those may have been the ones you saw at the mall show.
