Toby's Heller Texan T6G "Finished"

[TobyC]

Just washed the parts so next will be priming.
Decided on French markings for this GB.

[Old_Tonto]

good choice Toby.

[Sissel]

Oh I forgot. It's the 1st today!

Is this kit one of those Heller gems?

[TobyC]

It's this one.



Is this the gem you speak of?

[Zee28]

I believe the Heller and the Airfix are one and the same (except for the very busy one-stage assembly instructions in the Heller).

It looks very good to me.

And they're in French. Merde

[Zee28]

But the kit doesn't look 'merde', it looks quite 'bonne' actually!

If you want a scan of the (far less busy) Airfix instructions let me know and I'll provide Toby.

That would be merveilleux if you could. I get dizzy just looking the Heller one

[Sissel]

Oh I don't know if this is one. I just know Heller has some small gems, and was wondering if this was one of them. Like the Heller Saab Safir. Gem of a kit.
Judging from the sprue shot this looks to be the kit OT and Miss-Stang is building with the Airfix rebox.

It does look very nice.

I like that it comes with armament, will look great when done with the sharksmouth!

Unfortunately the kit was missing its decals and the ones I got have no sharkmouth

[Miss-Stang]

Hi Toby,

I love the box art for your kit and your sharks mouth decals look great

I can see what you mean about the instructions and I do hope that maybe Zee can help out there (no pressure, Zee ).

And I have to say that I think Heller's choice in plastic colour leaves a lot to be desired

I have a set with a Sharksmouth if you want them?

Not exactly the same as the box you showed but still French. Here is the link to the sheet the French one is at the top of the second decal page -

Thanks for your generous offer but I'll stick with the ones I got from Hannants last week. Tbh I haven't done too well putting on sharksteeth in the past. Probably something to do with seeing the film Jaws
