Smudge Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have the old Heller boxing in the stash. I agree that some decent decals for it would be nice. Anyway, tempted to get one for the resin and PE goodies. Any chance of a look at the parts and decals? Where can you get one? Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I wouldn't mind the Daglo decals, makes the model more colourful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I love the Constellation, prettiest piston engined aircraft ever made!! The box art is very nice indeed. Doesn't Paul Fisher make correction sets for the Heller model (and from what I remember, there's a fair amount to replace)? I hope it doesn't cost too much, I'd like one.

RODH2 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Love the Constellation - saw a QANTAS Constellation flying over Adelaide in, don't know, 1960 perhaps - and the H.A.R.S. Constellation more recently. Beautiful Box-art!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Doesn't Paul Fisher make correction sets for the Heller model (and from what I remember, there's a fair amount to replace)? Check Plusmodel's web site - they make a range of upgrades for the EC-121 already. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Homebee and John Thompson, thanks for the heads up on the decals and resin upgrade parts. I'm with Kev67, the aircraft with the dayglo would be my choice. I have been trying to find the old Microscale Connie sheets for years, but no luck. They did two or three at least. Oh well, these look very nice anyway. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
