New kits for 2023

In 1:24, as well as the two trailers, there's a Massey Ferguson 135 tractor kit which I haven't seen before.

Does anyone know if this is a reissue / rebox, or a new tool?  Thinking that one would look very nice next to their previously issued little grey Fergie.

 

The Renault 4 and 2CV vans also announced are presumably modifications / new parts for their exisiting R4 and 2CV cars, and look interesting too:

(I do wish they would do a very early R4 as well - the one where the headlights are not part of the grille).

According to the video it's a new mould.

 

Luckily for me they aren't going to cost me anything as there's nothing in the announcements I need, but really good to see Heller getting back up to strength.

The Massey Ferguson has been out before; it first emerged just after the original grey Fergie was released.

 

And the two fourgonettes have been done by Ebbro in the past (I know, I have both).

 

Well, Herr Ensgstfeld, MD of Heller is telling fibs then! :)

 

He states in the video the Massey is a brand new kit which they hope to get out at the end of 2023 but as he said it's likely to be the first of 2024, skip ahead to 11:19 in the video. The Massey released after the Little Grey was a 2680.

 

He also says both Fourgonettes are new tools so likely have nothing to do with the Ebbro kits.

Sounds very promising, as their little grey Fergie is a very nice kit so am very tempted by the Massey Ferguson 135.  I'm not fussed about the rest of the announcements, but strongly agree that it's good to see Heller releasing their own brand new stuff, as opposed to just their recent reboxing of several ICM kits of French related subjects.
