Found this on YouTube tonight. Even though I’ve never done a Heller kit but this is exciting news for 2023. Saw a few kits I wouldn’t mind adding to my stash.

I like the Gazelle, Connie and the e2.

John double check on the Gazelle. It might be a repop of their old 1/50 kit

I have a few 1/72 Heller kits in the stash. Back in the 70's and 80's they had a great selection of kits. Not very detailed but good kits.

Here is a SAAB J-21A

What caught my attention is they are fixing the old molds.

I saw this video a few days ago and to be honest I've never build one of their kits, but they may have some stuff we just can't get elsewhere.

The one kit I would jump on considering it will be the last time they produce them is the Concorde combo kit.

I looked on their website for the catalog (I hate watching videos for this sort of thing) and saw that they had a gorgeous 1/48 Mirage III E and F-104G in store. I suspect that they are molds from another company, but man they look good!

Carlos, according to Scalemates the IIIE was originally a Kinetic kit that Heller reboxed. ESCI also did a IIIE in 1/48, the one I have is kit # 4030. Academy and Fujimi did 1/48 IIIC's in 1/48, Fujimi also did the IIIR in 1/48.
Much to my surprise I have 50 Heller kits. Haven't built any that I can remember, except for a little work on a 749 Constellation. They did the Mirage IV A in 1/50 and later in 1/48 as the IV P, I have both versions. A lethal looking airplane, I think. I am glad to see that they are reissuing the 1/48 kit in 2023, as the IV P version again.
