I hope the "upgraded" parts include at least a set of engine cowls that look like the ones on the real thing ...

I've the standard Constellation kit in the stash and had planned a nice simple build. Guess that plan has just been scuppered :o

I've got most of the Fisher stuff for the L-1049s/C-121s already in the stash, so I'm well equipped.

 

Paul Fisher was talking about more stuff for the L-649/749, to follow up on his L-049 cowls (which are the dog's whatnots), but that seems to have gone very quiet. I'd dearly love some new L-749 cowls to do the Qantas aircraft in their various permutations - the Heller parts are equally dire as the L-1049 ones.

It only says a number of older Heller kits have upgraded parts and not specificly the Warning Star and when you see the list that could a lot of different other kits!!

Seeing is believing:wink:... but nevertheless i hope they have  addressed  the engines of this particular plane..

@Admiral Puff if you would like some correct engines for the Qantas L749 just contact RVHP models as they produce these engines for the WV-1 set that they sell..

If you ask it nicely they are more than willing to ship you these engines only for a very acceptable price whitout the radomes for the WV-1, at least they did that for me without a hitch...

 

Cheers, Jan

Hope they don't upgrade the kit.  I know it needs it, but at what cost?  If it increases the kit price by 1/3rd or 1/2 then it's not worth the additional parts.  Lots of aftermarket for the Connie so why drive the price up?  Don't want to start a firestorm, jut my 2 cents.  Cheers Lads.
