Homebee Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Heller (link) vintage plastic kit with new decals confirmed... So 1/50th scale kit... What a pity. http://www.modelarovo.cz/tatranska-zuzka-v-kovozavodech/ V.P. Edited December 7, 2020 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeejeeZ Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It is, Homebee, although the Heller Gazelle kit imho, besides the smaller scale, is not bad at all. What puzzles me: why release kits from Heller when the Gazelle (and the Alouette III) is still being boxed by Heller themselves? A KP release of the former Heller 1/48 (1/50) Dauphin, now that would have made more sense, since that kit seems to have vanished completely from the Heller catalogue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 My Brother fixed Gazelles in the Army Air Corps, and rated the Heller kit as pretty accurate. There was also a Fujimi kit I believe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a Fujimi kit I believe? Nice to hear that! I built both the Heller and the Fujimi Gazelle kit and imho the Heller is by far the best of both. The Fujimi is a tad bigger (more to 1/48 I'think), but its rotor head, landing gear and flight controls are way oversize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeejeeZ Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 🥰 Sweet memories!! The sketchy art work on that Heller series really was something. I guess the new KP version still has the tiny moulded lines that helped the young modeller paint the scheme as pictured on the Heller kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcV Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Bonjour Hombee, Did you change the title of this thread to 1 / 50 because the scale is actually not 1 /48th? Also it's not a Fujimi /Heller re-box is it? Thanks, Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) This is definitely a repop from the vintage - 1974 ! - 1/50th Heller kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/heller-l551-gazelle--169209 Fujimi and Heller Gazelle kits are different. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/fujimi-30121-aerospatiale-sa-341d-f-gazelle--1105981 V.P.
