Heller Question: Never built any, never bought any. The Talbot Lago Grand Prix looked intriguing... Thoughts? *NM*
Heller kits are generally very good. But be prepared to be aggravated by somethink, like the body being molded in color except for one large panel molded in black *NM*
Many 1970's era Heller kits are nightmares.........
Fully agree, lots of small parts, somewhat vague instructions but kits of unusual & not kited by anyone else....have the Porsche 917K, 1970 LeMans # 23 winner almost finished but it has some annoying things that makes me put the kit away.....again & again.....lol. *NM*
I managed to get through the 330P4 - nightmare is strong, but bring your magnifier, squares and files
The Talbot is probably one of the simpler of their race cars. The sports and prototype racers can be difficult. All of their kits tend to be a bit quirky, but think Citroën. They're all French. *NM*
Is the Heller kit actually a SMER kit? *PIC*
Re: Is the Heller kit actually a SMER kit? No quite different. *NM*
Good to know ! :0-) *NM*
The SMER kit of the Talbot and the Alfa are repops of the old Merit kits, wish they'd do more if they have the tools. *NM* *PIC*
I have built a few Heller kits. PICS
First time I've seen a Mahari built. Nice! Reminds me of a Mini Moke. *NM*
Nice Mehari, Got a couple in the stack plus the conversion resin to turn it into a later front end. Heller is coming out with a police version of it also. *NM*
Guess I should have said "Gendarmerie" version. *NM*
They are a bit finnicky. I built the Heller Renault 4CV and started on the Talbot Record (PICS)
Thanks to everybody who commented on my Heller question. I really appreciate the input. *NM*
