bbowser Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Looking for any info on this kit. I picked it up on eBay back in 2018. Seems to be a European release, no idea how old it is, still in the original packaging albeit with some wear and tear. Thanks in advance for any insights.

LDO Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I don’t have information, but I do have a question. Is that individual cooling fins that get stacked for the cylinders? If so, that is awesome. I have an Italeri 1/9 scale R75 military sidecar rig and its cylinders are nowhere near as detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are individual cooling fins. I also realized the instructions are in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 That’s pretty cool. I went to eBay, found one at a good price and bought it. I wish I could help with info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Is this the same kit that Revell AG just released? The new kit has fairings and Police markings...... If so, that could be a good source for the instructions in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Nope. The Revell kit is a rebox of a Venice Beach=produced Revell kit which was originally released in 1971. It's nowhere as detailed as the Heller kit, which was also released by Airfix. Why should it matter if the Heller instructions are in French? No different than older Tamiya kit instructions written in only Japanese. Follow the drawings or photos to see what gets attached where.

It won't matter, just adds to the evidence that it's a Euro release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use Google translate if needed. You can look through the camera and it translates it in real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
