Nice collection of Heller kits, each one is a modeler's model.  Heller kits are not for the faint of heart.  I also agree, the potential is there to turn out a Museum piece, after all 1/400 is just a step down from 1/350.

Graf Spee has always been a fav from them that I enjoyed building many, many years ago.

Look forward to your work and the Connie in the back ground looks great too.

I love those Heller kits although they are quite plain. I have seen outstanding models made from them, many even better representations than the more expensive 1/350 kits.  I agree with Felix; start with the Tom's sets and go from there.

Get a Tom's dedicated set for each plus portholes and hatches. Makes quite a difference. Toy becomes a proper model.

I don't think I realized Prinz Eugen was that large.  Looks like you have some work ahead of you, can't wait to see them!  By the way, that looks like a beautiful Constitution in the background.
