Jimbo8v92 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Picked up this heller model off ebay the other day and cant wait to start it. Never heard of them but looks like a nice quality kit and it came with paint, paint brush and glue. Its a 1/43 scale so a bit small but should be fun.
clayton Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Sounds kinda like the AMT tnt kits. They are small.

bigred63 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Wow, what a blast from the past. You could buy, Peterbilt wrecker, a Peterbilt tractor unit, a trailer and a Kenworth cabover. The kit where fun to build, and did not use too much space for display1 Enjoy the kit! I will be following the build.
Jimbo8v92 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Chassis is together and primed...was going to leave it but want a deeper black.
Jimbo8v92 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 Made some more progress over the weekend. I painted the cab, hood, fenders and engine/trans ( trans will be going black or red) also assembled the wrecker boom and tower then primered it. Still need to paint the wrecker body though.

Jimbo8v92 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks guys...yeah heres a little more progress. Interior is in primer and will be going brown leather. Also waiting for the front cabinet on the wrecker body to dry. Hopfully ill get all the chrome done over the weekend.
PettyKW43 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Nice work! These were such great little kits! I wish they would have been more successful for AMT, only a couple of different kits but they build up really nice!
Chariots of Fire Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 IF you want some chrome try a Molotow chrome pen. It really works!
