I fancy a model 747 in Air France livery. Have found a Heller kit on Eblag in 1:125. Are Heller any good? I only made Revell and Airfix as a kid.

Have a look on Scalemates at the provenance of it. it may even be a Heller re-box of something else, excellent or shite.

It will also point you at any reviews.

Here you go.

The kit dates back from the early 70s. Reviews on Britmodeller are a bit mixed. It depends what you want. Hyper accurate or fun/challenging to build.

Probably worth investing in some filler though, and a garage to keep it in.

No idea. But this was a brilliant two parter.
