1/24 Heller Citroen C4 Fourgonette 1928

[Junkman]

Heller. Or shall I say Hell-Err?

So I just took delivery of this kit:

 

I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned before (nothing showed up on my search), but the kit has some serious and not so serious issues.

The serious one is that the inner structure of the loading box sidewalls is very prominently repeating itself as sink marks on the outside surfaces.
This doesn't show very well on my photos (sorry, can't do any better), but it means you either have to to do a lot of putty work, and I do mean a lot, or cover them with thin styrene sheet.

 

The other one is less severe, but still annoying. The body parts tree that's not moulded in white, is moulded semi translucent:

 

Please take this into consideration when you decide to buy the kit.

You have been warned.

I'm not responsible.

you get that on a lot of the older heller kits. i think the delahaye is the only older heller kit i didn't find bad ones on but the new pug looks clean so far but i only had a quick look
