I must be getting better, this Heller kit did not give me as much heartburn as previous builds. Still vague instructions, no locating aids but I like how it turned out. The decals were shot and included several period Goodyear logos but the kit tires are Firestones! Happy to have it completed, on to the next one. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Here is my A 210, built around 1989 from the 1982 re-release of the earlier Heller kit - very small car but won its class (1300 cc) several times in Le Mans 24 hrs.; in 1966 these cars took places 9, 11, 12 and 13 - the #44 car (only decal option included in the kit) took 11 th place. Those of you who have built a Heller kit know there are always some very delicate parts and not always clear instructions - sometimes vague - so you have to use the trial and/or error method. Nevertheless, the kit was not that hard to build although I did make a few mistakes - the yellow stripe on the windshield is wrong (my idea), and the 3 tiny lights above it on the right side of the roof is also wrong - should be only one light for # 44 (Heller's fault); wheel covers for the front wheels were totally missing - will be scratch-built some day. Anyway, here are the pictures (on the dark table from 2005, the others made today, the empty box is now used for storing my decals), but first the actual car - found on the internet:
