1/72 HELLER DC-6B
I wanted to build a United DC-6 since it was the first prop airliner I flew on way back in 1963. Fond memories. I thought the HELLER was a good choice. Well, let's be frank, it the only choice in a larger scale. One reviewer referred to [...]
1/72 ‘Micro Stinger’ Bf-108B, I./ZG 1, Heller Kit 077
When I found Owl Decal sheet OWLDS72099 featuring a Bf-108 with I. Gruppe of the Zerstörergeschwader 1, I figured I had to build a ‘Micro Stinger ‘ to display next to my ‘Little Stinger’ Bf-109.
This Heller kit was first molded in [...]
SNJ-2 conversion, Skytypers 1/72, Heller
I first saw a SNJ around 1961 i was all of five years old. We lived close to Flushing airport in a part of Queens NY. You could see the airfield from my bedroom window. Hearing six radial engines taking of one after another, I could [...]
Morane Saulnier MS 406 – Heller 1/72
A few more MS 406's, completed 14y ago and based on vintage Heller kits. A three-planes flight was standard in the French Armée de l'Air of 1940 and called a "Patrouille simple".
The amount of work and corrections needed to make [...]
Morane Saulnier MS 226
Another Heller oldie, the Morane 226. A conversion made 16 years ago already, from a MS 225 kit. A lot of job to correct some of the kit big issues, besides the conversion. The main points to be addressed are:
Fuselage width to be [...]
Bloch 152 - Heller 1/72
One of the first Heller kits in the "Musée" range, issued in 1965. Quite crude and requiring a lot of corrective work to achieve a decent result. This one was done some 14y ago, before the much better kits from RS and Dora Wings [...]
1/72 Heller Dewoitine D.520
I finished this Dewoitine D.520 in 1/72 scale from Heller in 2023. It's a very old tooled kit, with raised panel lines, thick undercarriage doors, no detail inside the wheel wells and just the seat inside the cockpit. Fortunately the [...]
Fire, water, air... three elements, one aircraft: Canadair's mighty CL-215!
The fact that the invention of the aeroplane and the mastery of flight has changed the world is a commonplace that no one will contradict. It becomes more concrete when we take a closer look at an area where the use of aeroplanes makes [...]
Fighting Colours
Fighting Colours is a Kookaburra title by Michael JF Bowyer covering Royal Air Force camouflage and markings from 1937 to 1975. Chapter six addresses the RAF's shift to the offensive in 1941. In a subheading titled Important Colour Changes [...]
24-hour build: Heller 1/72 Arado Ar 96
I've previously published an article about my 24-hour Airfix Widcat, and this build followed much the same online format: start-to-finish in a 24-hour period with frequently posted updates. Unlike the new-tool Wildcat, the Heller Ar 96 was [...]
