stevej60 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi folk's looking for something a bit different this time I've stuck my neck out for Heller's 1/50 scale Gazelle,one for later in the GB looks to be an interesting kit despite the odd scale found these pic's from Superhobby which finally swayed me picked up for a tenner at KK. https://www.super-hobby.com/products/SA-342-GAZELLE.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hey @JOCKNEY, looks like @stevej60 is gunning for outright leader on Jeroen’s GB Leaderboard. Anyone got a Heller Yellow jacket / jersey for who takes out this ultimate and highly sort after prize? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Morning folk's postie called earlier and two Heller kits now in my grubby mits.This is an oldie and I've never seen one before but looks like it'll build into a nice little kit and after yesterday's trials with the Ouragan decals I have to say this is the best set of I've seen from Heller,some nice option's but it has to be the three tone French Army scheme for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 That looks nice Steve. I do agree, these new boxes with excellent decals are fantastic value for money. I have a few of these editions myself and the moulds still appear pretty sharp to my (fuzzy) eyes. A crisp Heller kit with state of the art decals... what’s not to like? Cheers and good luck again with this one.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cheer's Dave as good a decal sheet as you would find in a modern release I'm tempted by the RN scheme for a future project but not this GB!

jean Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi Steve, I have never seen the Heller Gazelle before. It looks mighty good, especially with these posh decals. Glad you are doing the Froggy version: they sure look mean in their camo. Have fun! JR 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 ... and this was looking so promising too. I was really looking forward to seeing this one take shape, however you have already inspired me to add this to my fast growing Heller kit wish list either way. Cheers and all the best..

Jabba Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There are a couple available at Kingkit if you are still wanting to do this build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 What a great shame Steve. I always dread that sort of thing happening. Sometimes, if I'm good at remembering I place my open glue bottles in a seperate box lid on the desk but I must confess I probably forget most of the time! Good not to dwell on such things though!
