mike 51 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) That 1/24th scale farm tractor looks pretty neat too....what's a good U.S. source for these Heller kits? Edited January 30, 2015 by mike 51
Junkman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yep. And a Citroen Mehari and another variation of the Ebbro Renault 4, that includes several 'civil service' variations - Police - Fire Brigade - Road Assistance as well as the GTL trim package.
Erik Smith Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 What?!?!? What's with all the Citroën love??? Those are awsome. The 4L now has all four doors open? Mehari? C'mon.
Rob Hall Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 wow...some really cool French stuff coming this year, plus the Ebbro Citroens..
Atmobil Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Lots of great kits on the way I see, fantastic!!
Junkman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 We need some Peugeots and Simcas next. And a Panhard. Vive la France!
Junkman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) The 4L now has all four doors open? And the late type dashboard. Edited January 30, 2015 by Junkman
Luc Janssens Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) wow...some really cool French stuff coming this year, plus the Ebbro Citroens.. France seems like a "grow" market for model kits..... http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Ausstellungen/Nuernberg2015/Artikel_PR/Revell_Wirtschaftsmeldung_2014.html Maybe like in the US, the majority of European automotive modelers, love to build cars which they saw on the roads in the '50s, 60s and 70s...maybe there's hope for those of us, who like Opel's and Cologne / Dagenham Fords Edited January 30, 2015 by Luc Janssens
Luc Janssens Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Citroen Mehari saw one of those, parked near the doctors office I went today. My 7 year old son, asked what kinda car is was.
Mike Chernecki Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yep. Nice, I want one. I own a real one.
Paul H Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Interesting to see that the new R4 version has all opening doors, not just the front. Is this just a Heller upgrade, or does Ebbro do this option too? If so, pity that they haven't done this with the DS as well. Also that the 2CV pickup has the earlier, ripple bonnet front end - would also be a useful upgrade for the regular 2CV. Really liking the Little Grey Fergie, and the Mehari. I see also from the photo album that Heller have re-released their E Type kit - a welcome return!
Junkman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 It looks to me like the R4 is a completely different tool that is not related to the Ebbro at all.
Paul H Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 It looks to me like the R4 is a completely different tool that is not related to the Ebbro at all. Ah - I'd (mis)understood that it was a joint project. I prefer either all opening or none opening when it comes to doors on models - otherwise imho the panel gaps tend to look mismatched, so it will be interesting to see how the Heller R4 compares to Ebbro's one. Tbh though, with Ebbro's DS, the Tamiya Gullwing and these Heller new (and re-releases), 2015 looks like being a fantastic year for kits of classic European cars. *Puts the DS, Gullwing, Fergie and Mehari on the shopping list* We need some Peugeots and Simcas next. And a Panhard. Btw, Air Trax do some in resin - 404, Chambord and 24CT respectively. A 203 would be interesting as would a 304 cabrio.
Junkman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Ah - I'd (mis)understood that it was a joint project.That's what I assumed as well.RONG R ME Btw, Air Trax do some in resin - 404, Chambord and 24CT respectively. A 203 would be interesting as would a 304 cabrio.Yeah, but for the money they ask I'd expect somewhat better quality.
michaelbaskett Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I see the Dodge Van from Round 2.....It will be a must have....BUT.... Did anybody think to ask if they were gonna fix the grille before it comes back?....
Casey Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Yes!, even if only for the tires. Thanks for the pics/link, Luc.
Bennyg Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I wish I had more bench time. Study and work come forst unfortunately. Great subjects coming our way. I'm a bit disappointed with no new trucks. Awaiting the Drake Kenworth K200 and swing wing low loader. Hopefully car people are happy. Ben
Chuck Most Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I didn't notice much of what was shown, because my brain sort of shut off once I saw the Ferguson. That's on my "gotta have" list.
DaveM Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I didn't notice much of what was shown, because my brain sort of shut off once I saw the Ferguson. That's on my "gotta have" list. My brain did that too! Must be a Michigan thing. I hope we can get those in the states. I can already picture a couple of those on an older flatbed trailer ready to be delivered to their new owners.
Atmobil Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I have a feelin the Ferguson tractor is going to be a big hit. I will have to get several of them. A quick count on the models dissplayed at the show and I get 10 kits that I'm going to buy when they reach the shelfs and there is more kits on the way that is not at that show. All in all, a very good time to be a modelbuilder now

All in all, a very good time to be a modelbuilder now Is this the golden age to be a modeler or what? That tractor is a must, the gull-wing Merc as well. I've already got a "T" on the way and waiting for the touring. Start saving the tax return money!
