Anatol Pigwa Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I will be joining with the 2011 Revell reissue of the Alpha Jet, a classic Heller Kit as the moulds originate in 1977. @stevej60is building  the same aircraft, albeit in a proper Heller boxing, so head over here to compare our efforts!  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nice choice Anatol, I have the Heller black box edition in the Hoard, I've got a nice Pavla resin cockpit to go with it so I'm interested in seeig how this one turns out. Â The original kit dates back to 1977 and was catalogue number 257. Â Welcome and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT 876 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Hi Nice. Some of the later Heller boxings had the Airfix kit inside i think it is the one with the a/c flying inverted on the box top that is the Airfix one and the Heller plastic is the one the a/c flying normal. You can tell also by the plastic inside if its the Heller one. Not seen the Revell kit nice to know as will now look out for this kit knowing its the Heller one and not the old Matchbox one more to add to the list. I have a few boxings so will have a look to see. Paul Edited October 2, 2020 by PaulT 876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 If I had to wager a guess I'd say that revell aquired the Heller mould around 1990Â as all later Heller Alpha Jets are of the Airfix origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi AP Have you had a chance to do anything on this one yet ? @stevej60 hasn't started his one yet so it's a great chance to beat him into the gallery ! Cheers Pat   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatol Pigwa Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Actually this one is fairly adanced (The base coat of black has been applied), but I can't post any pictures as I am away from my modelling desk ATM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Darn. A Heller jet that somehow I wasn’t aware of. I’m going to have to get one now.  Enjoy the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi @Anatol Pigwa When we last heard from you, you could post any pictures as you were away from your modelling desk. Have you had a chance to return ? It would be great to see how this one is progressing, or have you actually finished it already ? Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
