Marco F. Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I just visited spotmodel.com side and there are some quite interesting announcement for next year by Heller. If these kits will be available next year I think I'll need some more cash for the Hobby Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 There's a youtube video by Heller of 2023 announcements Not looked at the video yet, but there are definately some interesting releases listed on their website 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbostream Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Will get at least one car trailer and the 928. No license to use the Porsche name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) In 1:24, as well as the two trailers, there's a Massey Ferguson 135 tractor kit which I haven't seen before. https://www.heller.fr/en/81404-massey-ferguson-135-1000814040 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: https://www.heller.fr/en/82700-renault-4-fourgonette-f4-1000827000 https://www.heller.fr/en/82701-citroen-2cv-fourgonette-ak-250-1000827010 (I do wish they would do a very early R4 as well - the one where the headlights are not part of the grille).

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.

Admiral Puff Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Admiral Puff Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Thanks, Keith - I shall await the release of all three with bated breath, in that case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith 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.

Anteater Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 All looks very positive, great to see more 1/43s appearing and I like the prospect of some reasonably priced 1/24 commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
