TonyW Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 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. And the build thread is here... 41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That is quite a look, Sir. It does look like some antique display cast a single piece. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonners Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 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. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lovely, that's got to have pride of place in your collection. Never mind the wedding photos on the mantlepiece, get the Arc En Ciel up there! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
