Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hi everyone, just noticed the Heller 2018 catalogue is available to view on their website now; https://www.heller.fr/img/cms/catalogue/catalogue_heller_2018.pdf Can't see anything new aircraft wise, but some nice re-issues like the Warning Star (probably at a decent price) , Safir, Lansen and Fennec. Does seem to be a few cars but might be re-issues to? Thanks, Colin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Good spot Colin! Quite excited about the CL-215 and some of the other aeroplanes. A lot of them were very good for the time and still are considering. I also like some of the 1/24 cars like the DelHaye, Bugatti and others like them.

SeaVenom Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Great to see Heller still around. What's not so damn great is it took me 20 minutes to scroll down that for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 In view of comments on the various Airfix threadsthe Mussee series seems like a smart move. I can see some kit dealers getting a bit of a thumping over some of those re-releases though.... If that Gazelle is a new 1/48th kit I think it will do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavingav1 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 saab safir, bloch 210 and all the constellations, i can see some people on ebay being sad at this news, the 1/35 diorama bases look interesting too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Thanks Colin! For the aircraft part there's a word: archeology ! V.P. Edited April 26, 2018 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Hugo Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Heller paints = Humbrol. Acrylic or enamels? 72nd scale figures ex Airfix? also polyethylene or are they polystryrene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 They won me with the R8 Gorblimey. Everything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 I wonder if the 4e trimester items on the bottom will be announced at Nuremburg, maybe they are the new tool items? Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Oh! I do love Heller kits. Very glad to see the Safir back and I think I'll be investing in some more of the Museum Series....although some of those types are so ugly, you need beer goggles to build them! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Well, there is another new tool 1/24 tractor kit to go alongside the Ferguson TE-20: the Massey-Ferguson 2680. It looks like the 1/35 Hotchkiss H38/H39 may be a new kit. No new aircraft but I wish they would reissue the 1/125 Boeing 737-200 and 1/125 DC-9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin1967 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Agreed with all the other comments posted above. I am very happy to see Heller still around and I shall be buying some of their re-releases even though I have various boxing's in my stash, I have always had a penchant for their black framed boxes. I am hoping that Hannant's will stock the above listed kits ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) That is one hell of a catalogue, by anyone's measure. What's not to like about a 1:72 Warning Star, Constellation, Transall, Noratlas, E-3 Sentry, CL-215 and Mirage IVA! Though tractors are very much a secondary interest, the MF2680 is my favourite tractor, delighted to see that!

Radleigh Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 SO Happy about the CL-215!!! I'm just finishing mine and have been hunting for about a year for another.... So I think I will have to stock up on at least 2-3 of them, I never stock up on kits, but this one is a must. Be a bonus if we see some sheets released for it too........

Albeback52 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Delighted to see this range again - especially the E3, ( hope it includes the option for the CFM-56 engine variant), the Constellations, DC-6 and, Noratlas. and Boeing 707. Doubtless there will be many detractors whining about yet more reissues but, in some cases, there is no competition. To my knowledge, nobody has produced any other 1/72 kits of the afore mentioned. There are a lot of other aviation subjects in the range that interest me and, subject to pricing, I can see a lot of them heading my way. I think the biggest losers will be the second hand dealers and ebay sellers currently demanding silly prices for some of these hitherto O O P kits!

Unless they maybe reissue the E-3B/E-3F at some point. I need a RAF Sentry!!. If I recall correctly the Airfix E-3D Sentry was essentially the -3B/-3F with new decals?

Hopefully they see sense in the future, Meanwhile, I don't have the space for the biggies I already have in the stash and on the bench, but the idea of the warning star being re-issued is tempting, can see me doing one in 'Nam camo.

Appreciate the info. Unfortunately, that would make for a very expensive model. Why I was hoping for the -3F/-3B kit!. Hopefully, Heller will see fit to release the other variants over time Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
