Is it better than the Academy kit?

... and the Academy kit can also be built as a radial-engined Morane-Saulnier MS.502.

I would disagree, there are several shape issues with the Academy, none of which are present on the Heller kit - i.e. a rather pronounced wing dihedral (original didn't have one at all!), oversized/oversimplified smaller parts, etc.

Most Academy Storks I have seen built have a rather toy-like appearance to them.

 

Clear parts are not great on either kit, but a bit closer to reality on the Heller/Smer/AZ.

Heller kit can be turned into a real head-turner by some minor upgrades:

  • Some improvement in the interior (not much needed because of the thick clear parts)
  • Scribing-in those few panel lines the actual aircraft had
  • Correcting the shape of the cowling intake to oval
  • Refining the main struts a bit and replacing the smaller ones

 

Here's a great build by Rato Marczak, highlighting what could be done with the old Heller

It could be worth to add maybe that the old Heller Storch is basicly available all the time since the MisterCraft (yes!) model No D211 is exactly old Heller Storch

BTW - with also nice set of decals, all for some 5 euro

Therfore I always says, that some of Mistrcraft kits are better that their fame. Recently I've bought their Il-4, which is Zvezda re-box.

Cheers
