Heller Arc En Ciel kit rescue.

Recommended Posts

Here's one of my contributions to the Heller Group Build, the Art Deco masterpiece that is the Heller Arc En Ceil from 1964.

 

Rebuilt from a very time worn example. It was too far gone to restore as a detailed model, so I made a desk display model out of it using S 'n J polishing powder. 

 

There's a link to the build thread below.

Art Deco indeed! You've made a superb display piece there, Tony. 

 

I love the shape of this aircraft; the characteristic interwar French ungainliness morphed into something elegant and rather refined. I had no idea that Heller had produced an Arc-en-Ciel! I've certainly never seen one, but might have to start looking.
