discussion Heller ?

[Guest]

Hi all I dont know much about Heller but does anyone think they will ever release another 1/8 car with the same detail level as the traction avant, I paid 147 quid for that but would happily pay 200 for a new one (I've never built a pocher kit) but this must rival them for detail and parts at a quarter of the price, it is an incredible kit. I am going to get another. Have something totally different in mind for that one. How could I/We entice them to do another, I could think of loads Rolls, Jag, Aston, Bentley Imagine a 1/8 Bentley 4.5 supercharged (the airfix kit updated) oh my god I'm dribbling.

If I could justify it I'd go for the Italeri FIAT MEFISTOFELE Ken ...... £150 ............... In-fact, It may well be "Merry Christmas to Me" out of my Christmas Bonus.

Already have that (curtecy of the missus for my birthday) and although it is a great kit a lot of the parts count is taken up by the individual links to the drive train also there are a lot of faults (detail wise with it) I've got some copper leaf and brass leaf especially for that kit (although the brass leaf will come in handy for the soliel royal cannons also)

So do you reckon it's worth the hundred & fifty beer tokens ?

Mate that is a bike I always dreamed of owning, a friend of mine killed himself on one and they were obviously designed for midgets but that didn't put me off wanting one.

Hi mate asked the missus where she got it and she said what model I said the other red car she said I don't know you say what you want I just type it in (I did some googling amazon have it with free postage for 142 quid it is worth it the wooden firewall is moulded the wrong way round also the instructions tell you to put the suspension on the wrong way round (its all screw fitting so is easy changed)(assuming you even notice)(it just makes the car sit a bit higher) I couldn't wait to start it but got hooked on the Citroen (very intense build) and of course I have the soliel royal now which will be started as soon after Christmas as possible.
