Hell(er) of Mine (Mercure M-765 diorama)
Very old and tiny kit of the minesweeper "Mercure" from the french brand Heller. I chose the ship to experiment a diorama using Andrea water and Pébéo Studio Acrylic gloss gel. I added El Arsenal photo-etched railings and [...]
1/72 Scale Heller J-29E SAAB Tunnan “Flying Barrel” by Don Weixl June 2020
I have had this kit in my stash since the late 70s! I think it cost about $4.00 Canadian back in the day. Heller’s 1/72 scale aircraft kits were generally really good for that era, although the decals were a bit on the crude side. Raised [...]
1/72 Heller Alpha Jet Kit No_257
I have been away from scale modeling since 1990's - I can't remember the last kit I actually built. Getting close to retirement, I figured I better make sure I still have the patience to get back into it.
This wasn't my first kit getting [...]
PZL 11c
I picked this kit up a few weeks ago from a vendor table at a recent contest. It’s the old Heller 1/72 PZL 11c. This is a basic but nice kit. I added some framing in the cockpit, seatbelts, landing strut bracing wire and antenna wires. [...]

Hi everyone!
Here is my latest quick build of the 1/72 Thunderjet Heller kit. It was the first jet the Hellenic Air force was equipped with. The Heller kit, though a bit old, is a nice and very sweet little kit. I rushed to make the model [...]
Happy New Year, and a review of builds from 2019
First of all, Happy New Year to all of you.
I's been a while since my last posting here. Time has been limited maily due to a lot of work. The time left was spent with the family and actual building some models.
Next to work I'm also [...]
Big Heller Lockheed Constellation
This is the Heller Lockheed Constellation, in 1/72nd scale. The model is big, with a length of about 22 inches, and a span of about the same. Not only is the kit big, I added a bunch of weight in the nose, making the model nose-heavy and [...]
The Saab Safir by Heller – a flying gemstone in gentlemen's scale
The meaning of the type designation "Safir" should appear to me in the course of this project more and more suitable for this small model. Translated from Swedish it means "sapphire", so I learned to appreciate the [...]
