stevej60 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Here,s my entry a golden oldie from Heller,not obvious from my poor photos are the very fine details which are excellent for a kit of this vintage.I am building 00B but am going to try to represent the wing fold option,and change the decals as the kit ones are not great. And yes it is moulded in turquoise blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viscount806x Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Heller kits from this period were very much admired at the time apart from decal quality which you have already identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Holliday over so a bit more progress, terrible gap along wing joint but a bit of filler will do the trick,overall fit is very good for such an old kit no loss of raised detail during cleaning of the seams so far so good!thanks for looking.
