Heller Etendard IV, 1/50, 302-250
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$34
USA Heller Buzco issue. This large-scale Etendard IV was very well detailed for that time; the molds were likely cut in the very early 1960s. This model probably represents the prototype aircraft. Features very fine raised panel detail and rivets, cockpit, opening canopy, folding wings, moving rudder, working arresting gear, optional position landing gear and speed brakes and real rubber tires. Includes drop tanks and underwing weapons as well. This is the second issue of the very rare 'operating kit' of the Etendard IV. All of these Buzco issues come with the 1st issue instructions showing even more operating features, but those parts and the pilot/helmet were never included. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Heller Etendard IV Type M, 1/50, 500
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$36
Large 1/50 scale Etendard IV. Nicely molded older kit features fine raised panel detail, cockpit, folding wings, working arresting gear, optional position landing gear and speed brakes and real rubber tires. Includes drop tanks and underwing weapons as well. This is the second issue of the very rare 'operating kit' of the Etendard IV. The original issue had automatic speed brakes and retractable landing gear. The model used a complex series of 6 cogs and gears with wire springs and twine to make functioning landing gear and speed brakes. When you lowered the arresting (tail) hook, the landing gear doors opened and the nose and main wheels extended. When you raised the arresting hook, the landing gear retracted and the doors closed. Furthermore, when you pulled out the parachute release at the tail, the speed brakes lowered. When you closed it, the speed brakes closed. Please note that although this model is from those molds, it does not have those action features - only the ones that I listed. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The decals are in amazing 'Excellent++' condition but the instructions have bug damage, mainly along the folds and edges. They are still perfectly useful for assembly purposes.

Heller Bloch 174, 1/72
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$26
Old high-gloss 'L' type box issue from the early 1960s when Heller had no part numbers. The Bloch 174 was an excellent armed reconnaissance bomber that first flew in January of 1939. By the time of the German Invasion, only 50 had been made and only one unit operated the aircraft exclusively. Their superb performance allowed the existing 174s to be used extensively with little losses. After the Armistice, it continued to operate with the Vichy forces. Some saw action along side the Allies during TORCH in North Africa. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions.

Heller Admiral Sheer German Heavy Cruiser / Pocket Battleship, 1/400, 800
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$34
1970s 'Yellow' box issue and a very nicely detailed, full-hull kit of this famous sister to the Graf Spee. These kits are still in demand for their detail and accuracy, since Heller did their research in identifying the differences between Scheer, Spee and Lutzow. These are integrated into these kits down to the porthole differences. A very nicely detailed, full-hull kit of this famous sister to the Graf Spee. She saw heavy action and was Germany's most successful capital ship surface raider of WWII. She was also a fairly luck ship and survived to very near the end of the war. While in port, most of her crew was ashore and an RAF bombing raid capsized the ship. She was scrapped after the war but part of the hull was used for fill for a quay. This model is very well detailed with 200 pieces. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals, metal chain and instructions.
