Art Anderson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have a badly warped original of this tractor....been wanting a couple for some time now...I dig tractor kits.The "original" that keeps being mentioned was by Airfix, back a good 60 years ago, and was molded in acetate plastic, which warped like crazy over time. In addition, it was nowhere NEAR as detailed as the new Heller kit appears to be.Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I have the real one in the garage to play with.The Australian dollar is terrible. Also, we get ripped off on imports such as cars, even when our dollar was equal to the US dollar.

modelercarl Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Just got my 2 kits today (one for me, one for a friend who owns one), and was really impressed with the package until I opened one of the kits and realized that you can easily place 4 complete kits in one box. Is this a heller thing or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
