Homebee Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Heller Gmbh is to release - probably in 2026 - a new tool 1/72nd Sud-Aviation SA.342 Gazelle kit Source: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235133543-172-grumman-c-2-greyhound-by-heller-gmbh-in-project/#findComment-5143493 V.P. 5
troschi Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) Their 1/72 SA-342M was never Heller’s Gazelle except for the HOT missiles and the Homing antenna for the nose. The rest was Airfix with a modified upper clear part (HOT sight). A re-release of that one seems unlikely for me. Apart from that: That kind of commitment as shown in the screenshot is rather vague. Edit: As we all know Glow2B is the company behind Heller and Glow2B is also the German distributor for Airfix kits. But this would be a first then… Edited January 25 by troschi 1

kekelekou Posted January 30 Posted January 30 The initial question is "would you consider to re-release the Gazelle?", so the new tool mentioned by @Homebee looks like a pretty bold assumption to me. 😄
tempestfan Posted January 30 Posted January 30 1 hour ago, troschi said: aaah yes, I forgot that one … shame on me When I last looked at the Heller website (not that long ago), there were a LOT of Airfix kits, in particular the 00 figure sets. And as those are legacy Airfix moulds from pre-Humbrol days, I don't think their ownership has gone to Heller.
