X2.  I also like the looks of the DC-6

[stitchdup]

lots of good stuff, i can see heller getting a lot of my wages this year.

Cool planes, too. I gotta get the 1/48 Mirage IV P. If you’re not familiar with it, it was larger than the other Mirage fighters. It had twin engines and was meant to be a nuclear fast strike bomber. 
 

The 1/72 Lockheed Constellation airliner is cool, too. I think they offered it as the US Navy sub hunter in the past.

I keep dreaming they will tool a full detail 1/24 Peugeot 205 GTI. With the new management perhaps there is a chance.

Lots of neat stuff! Thank you for sharing the video. Here is a MF 135:

The racing team looks interesting, I had the Gordini back when AMT did those double kits.  I wouldn't mind having another shot at that one.  Hopefully Heller will throw some effort behind finding better distribution here.  They have some interesting items, their older kits are quite well done.  If more people here would have better access to them, I'm sure they could sell more of them.

I will take a 135, and possibly some of the other kits as well. I would be really happy if they get rid of the vinyl tree, and mould it in styrene.

And naturally I've got the original Heller release.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually built one. One of my most unsatisfying builds ever; I still wonder why I wasted my time.

[keyser]

Looks good, nice build. Skill to drag it that far.

Thanks, I don't give up easily, I guess. The above attached review is pretty spot on.

I don't mean to tar all Heller kits with the same brush. I built the Lotus 49B a few years back and apart from replacing the tires and decals, I found it to be a first rate kit, especially for its age. Thread here, scroll down for the photos:

Cool car/kit. It, 156/158/312T my fave F1 cars. Nice build. Another in pile I need to work on. 

[iamsuperdan]

Some interesting stuff there for sure. 

2CV van? Oh yeah.

[Justin Porter]

Going to need one of those Gordini sets for myself without a doubt.

Be interesting to see what if any difference there is between it and the Ebbro/Tamiya version. I'm not sure anyone is going to argue that the Heller 2CV is a better kit than the Tamiya one the Ebbro kit uses as it's base.
