I think this one got a bit trampled courtesy of the Peugeot 205 hype.
Heller is finally following up the R4 with the Fourgonnette version.

Edit: Why did they opt for an Austrian numberplate for their box art?

I've already pre-ordered three.
One will be the box art van, one like the ones my mother used for her business, and one like the one I had when I was a young lad.

Thing is, though, with the Ebbro model already existing, they missed the chance to make an F6.

I'm betting this and the 2CV Fourgonette are manufactured from the Ebbro molds. Heller doesn't have either in their existing portfolio and one of Ebbro's long standing "Coming Soon" kits at the time of their bankruptcy was a modified reissue of their 2CV in AZU spec trim.

I would be surprised to see these being the Ebbro moulds, because they were not as accurate as the Heller pieces. The R4 sedan from Heller is definitely a different tool, seeing as it does not come with the Ebbro 5-cylinder engine and mix of early/late spec options.
