I’ve been itching to build this one since I got it last year. It’s a newly reissued Heller Connie with high quality decals! I always loved Heller kits back in the day but their decals usually weren’t very good even when new. No more of that. These are top notch. The KLM livery is very attractive and a nice change of pace from the TWA and Lufthansa Connies that are usually modeled.
Preliminary construction shows the kit still has decent fit but will require some filling and sanding. I built a Heller Super Connie long ago and I remember it fitting pretty well. I’m going to treat this as a semi-long term project due to the large amount of filling and sanding involved and build it concurrently with some smaller projects. That said, it should be done over the next couple of months.
