Dominik Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 here a look into the box from this beautiful "must have" for me. in my view, Heller made it right, to bring their french classics back. enjoy some paper to look at: Decals
Modeller Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Damm... I was hoping to avoid adding any more to my stash in 2016.... but this is too good to pass up.
PatW Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Yes I've just ordered one direct from Heller!Same problem, that's my order of builds for 2016 up the creak!But I'm still looking forward to getting it, especially as I have just finished the 2CV Fourgonnette.
GeeBee Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I need more models like I need a hole in the head, but I just can't get this one out of my mind, I don't usually build vans or commercial vehicles, but this one is slightly different, it's an icon in France and other parts of the world, might be buying a couple for my Birthday ...
Erik Smith Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I ordered one from Heller...and I am like Geoff in terms of needing another kit, but this (and the Mehari) are just too cool.So, the bonnet/hood/cowl piece (area behind grill, in front of windshield/screen) is clear? I know Heller does the clear door panel thing, but the clear hood is different. Why? To view the engine maybe?
Danny Lectro Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) What an interesting subject. I think I will try to pick one of these up, and see if I can customize it similar to this: Thanks for posting your review! Edited January 10, 2016 by Danny Lectro
unclescott58 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Looking at what came out of the box above I'm going to have to try a Heller kit one of these days. The above subject doesn't interest me so much. Are their other kits as nice as this appears to be?Again, I these out of the box reviews with photos. Thanks Dominik.

Thanks Dominik.If you like classic cars, their 1930 Blower Bentley is especially nice.
PatW Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 My Type H van was delivered yesterday, direct from the Heller factory. So I'm now looking at various Matt finishes, with centreline or wire wheels!
Rob Hall Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Got mine today, along w/ the Mehari...they look pretty cool at first glance.
Tom Geiger Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Where did you order yours Rob? I seriously need these. Just because.
Rob Hall Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Where did you order yours Rob? I seriously need these. Just because.Directly from Heller...http://www.heller.fr/en/maquettes/46-new-products
Dave Van Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Where did you order yours Rob? I seriously need these. Just because.I want one too.......yet to find one stateside or a dealer with them in stock that will sell to USA......If someone finds some...let us know!
Dave Van Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Directly from Heller...http://www.heller.fr/en/maquettes/46-new-productsHmmmmm I want one.....but $23 model with $27 shipping is not going to work....I'll wait it out and see if someone brings them in. Thanks
Tom Geiger Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Directly from Heller...http://www.heller.fr/en/maquettes/46-new-productsWas shipping a major cost? I saw the free shipping within France on their site, but understood shipping to USA wasn't included.
Rob Hall Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Was shipping a major cost? I saw the free shipping within France on their site, but understood shipping to USA wasn't included.Shipping was a bit steep, about $24 USD for regular mail, with the total at 64 euros or about $72 USD, so I figure $36 each wasn't bad, probably less than they would be here, if I could even find them in a shop here....

Tom Geiger Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks Rob. I will order those and an Renault 4 for good measure.
Rob Hall Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I've got the Ebbro 4L, but I may get the Heller one as it is different, once the Ferguson becomes available (really looking forward to that one).
Stefan71 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I have built it. It´s not an easy kit to build and there are some misstakes in the instructions. Some of the problems with the kit is that the roof is too wide, and if you build the 1964 version you have to have the frontwindow with the molding inside the cab or you will get a gap between the front of the doors and the bonnet. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r57/STEFAN71/STEFAN71044/Type H 2_zps6rhnhrlp.jpg Stefan
PatW Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks for your input Stefan. I've also looked at your link and am really impressed with the finish! The matte finish, wheels and stance are all just right!
