sjordan2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Excellent accuracy and detail. One of the few builds that gets the hubcap paint right, and that's a tricky business to do cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few builds that gets the hubcap paint right, and that's a tricky business to do cleanly. Yeah that was a bit tricky, my first time though, but it's been actually satisfying... Thanks..

sjordan2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) There's one thing that every single kit maker and builder misses, including the amazing 1/8 product from Diamond Cars. The Gullwing steering wheel folds down from the top to allow the driver to exit more easily. At about 1 o'clock, behind the wheel and spokes on the hub, there is a lever release to make this happen, and the lever is never reproduced. May seem small, but it's one of the Gullwing's many signature, unique features. Edited September 11, 2010 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks Martin but let me say that it was a great kit, besides the decals.. i suggest this kit to anybody, close your eyes and buy it That is the funny thing about Heller kits. Your Gullwing built well and I did the Bugatti T50 and it was an easy build. Then you have the Delahaye and the Mercedes 540K - they are nightmares!

Guest Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Very nice! I dont know much about Heller kits, are they poor fitting? Didnt AMT do a kit like this many years ago with opening doors? Is this Heller kit still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kit is not poor fitting, i dont know AMT kit, i am not sure if Heller kit still available but i know that there is an 1/16 italeri kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different tooling from the 1/16 Entex/Minicraft version, with better detail. Your Heller kit looks like one of the most accurate Gullwing kits I've seen. Do the doors open?

Here in Turkey we have italeri i am afraid no, the doors do not open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
