Des Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Notice on the Glow2B website that the 1/48 Heller F-84F to be released during the summer with their reference 100080419 and refers to the original item number being 80419 which was assigned to the final release by Heller of their F-84F in the late 1990s although for that the box-art shown on Scalemates was wrongly titled RF-84F Thunderstreak. Was the first kit of the F-84F in 1/48 when first released back in 1979 not bad overall although fuselage halves a little bit out in places and detail rather weaker than the Monogram/Revell kit for example and had - raised panel detail , single piece canopy , shallow main undercarriage bays , four wing pylons but only stores are drop tanks only provided for the inner ones. Later formed the basis for the Fonderie Miniature kit with an added pair of replacement fuselage halves plus resin/etch/white metal. But depending on price not a bad way to cover the many operator and unit options available to the Thunderstreak.

Which is one of the very few "classic" Heller kits that I don't have, even though I remember it being released back in 1981. With all those marking options included, I'll gladly buy several of these.

Wez Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just seen this thread and I'm very pleased to see the resurgance of Heller under their new ownership - plenty of great subjects, many of which would be eligible for the Classic Heller GB later this year. Amongst the proposed new Heller releases is a 1/72nd Siebel 204 / SNCAC NC 701-702 "Martinet which is right up my street! Finger's crossed it's a new mould and not the old KP kit warmed up.

Great isn't it? I've already got a healthy stash of Heller kits, but there are so many more thankfully available again so trawling eBay isn't so necessary. I hope we see the Arado 96 and PZL P.11 again, and the Siebel sounds interesting too. Spoilt for choice for the group build! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I’ll be buying both Airfix and Academy, swapping the decals and trying to flog the Airfix.

Thanks Richard. I didn't know that. I do have a couple of the Arados, but looks like I'm off to eBay for a P.11! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
