Was this kit ever released by Testors? Weren't the Gee Bee's and the Travel Air Mystery originally Hawk kits?

Yes and yes. All started as Hawk and the molds were purchased by Testor's. In fact, I've seen ads in old "Air Trails" magazines from the later 1940s that indicate that the Curtiss racer started life as the land version and the floats were added later. I did a conversion years ago but never realized until later that I was just undoing what Hawk had done.
