Description

Since 1957, the Heller brand has made a name for itself in the RC modeling sector thanks to its quality models. Faced with precursors such as Airfix in the 50s, the company Heller stands out and positions itself as a competitor in the market. The scope, presentation, and finish of its models ensure a place of choice in front of others. What are the specialties of the manufacturer Heller?

Concorde, Revell 04997 (2015) - Scalemates

Certainly the highlight of the kit is the huge decal sheet with a full complement of stencils (most go on the bottom surface) and all three permutations of British Air markings from 1976 until retirement in 2003. The printing is well done, although the toned "furls" in the last fin-flag design are missing. W time, the brand's collections multiply with eclectic scales. In addition, these types of products are rapidly diversifying: An instruction manual is provided for you inside the box.

The finished model is eye-catching, mostly because of the subject. Serious modelers will want to take more time than the 45 hours I put into mine to improve the fit, clean up mold marks, and perhaps try to make the hinged nose work better. Concorde had already broken records for altitude (21,000 m) and speed (March 2.2). On January 21, 1976, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport opened under the colors of Air France and British Airways.Along with the soft detail comes notquite sharp edges to the parts, resulting in seams on most components that need to be filled. Take care assembling the engine pods as all the parts are handed.

The French company produces plastic and acrylic models of different scales. Specifically, the scales are 1/400, 1/125, 1/72 and 1/35. The plastic main landing-gear struts are fortified with metal rods. The main wheel well doesn't fit tightly to the wing bottom, but the main doors hide most of the mismatch. The integrity of the mechanism that allows the nose to droop is compromised by a complex design and the combination of soft white and brittle clear styrene. It worked once for me before something gave way. I ended up gluing the nose in the raised position. All heller 1/72 models and scale models are manufactured in Trun, France. With a catalog that counts more than 300 models, Heller is known for its miniature models. Moreover, its line is suitable for beginners as well as modeling professionals around the world. What types of Heller models are there? The Heller brand is renowned for its legendary models, from small aircraft to giant sailboats. It has been on the market since 1957.
