Thanks, thats good to know. Heller isn't my first choice when there is another to choose from but I was worried about those kits only they make. If they went over with Airfix then maybe there is some chance they also will bring out something new.

I believe the situation was that the parent company that owned both Heller and Airfix went into receivership, but that both will still continue to exist, but are now owned by another company. The majority of their current armor kits were reboxed Italeri kits, but they did have some neat models in their lines.

I heard a rumor that Heller had gone out of buisness but I still see their kits available at many shops (internet and LHS). So what is going on with Heller?

Not the best kits around but they have many unusual subjects unavailable from others so it would be a shame if they are no more. Also means I better get busy rounding up French aircraft if they have gone away.

 

Thanks
