Might have a bit of time between the Mirage III/5 STGB finishing and this one starting...

 

I already know what my subject will be and it won't be a French subject.

[Enzo the Magnificent]

I fancy building this.

 

 

Despite what the box says, this kit is not 1/72.  I believe it is more like 1/80 but to be honest that's just part of its charm.

I don't think I did anything this year, so count me in for this one for 2025. I'll either do a Jungmeister or a Boeing 707. Or something in between.

Well that gives you a nice range of potential subjects.

 

Welcome along

Welcome aboard, Alan, that's a great range of possibles!

Good choice, an interwar French flying conservatory, the very thing!

Excellent! Always strikes me as very futuristic in an art deco sort of way. Should be a flying hotel in Fritz Lang's Metropolis, not so sure about a warzome though!

Like to join this group build. Built many a Heller kit in my younger days. Always felt that they were quite good for their time.

Hi Grahame,

 

glad to have you aboard! I only built a few Heller kits among a legion of Matchbox and Airfix, but they always seemed somehow far more exotic!

 

Cheers,

Mark

I have the Citroën 15 Six in1/24th scale since 1984 in the boxing of 1979. So I think this could be the time for the build.

Excellent - that sounds like a great project! Welcome aboard the Good Ship Heller

Have one in the comparatively small stash of interesting things to build, original mould from around 1982 if to believe Scalemates. For now, count me in.

The Texan is a great kit still.

Just seen this. Will have to go to the storage locker (long story) and find the box with the Vampires within.

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi guys! Apologies for the delay in replying - I've been away over the weekend and without Wi-Fi 😱

 

Great to have you aboard the Good Ship/Plane/Car/etc Heller! Some great choices there - I still need to get myself a kit or two so food for thought

 

Cheers,

Mark

[Jinxman]

Morane MS.230 for me - decals are in the window bleaching, (very slowly), and there's even a little bit of rigging on it for @JOCKNEY!

 

First released in 1967, but it looks like a cracking little kit.

[TonyW]

Seeing as I'm still on an airliner roll from the current Airfix GB, I'll continue that with a biggy, the Heller 1.72 Boeing 707 in BOAC colours.

[Chris A]

I'll join up with an Alouette III. New box, but I think the mould dates to 1980.

Nice choice and yes the kit does originally date from 1980
