Found this on YouTube tonight. Even though I’ve never done a Heller kit but this is exciting news for 2023. Saw a few kits I wouldn’t mind adding to my stash.

John double check on the Gazelle. It might be a repop of their old 1/50 kit
I have a few 1/72 Heller kits in the stash. Back in the 70's and 80's they had a great selection of kits. Not very detailed but good kits.
Here is a SAAB J-21A

What caught my attention is they are fixing the old molds.

I saw this video a few days ago and to be honest I've never build one of their kits, but they may have some stuff we just can't get elsewhere.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

The one kit I would jump on considering it will be the last time they produce them is the Concorde combo kit.

Re: New products from Heller for 2023
I looked on their website for the catalog (I hate watching videos for this sort of thing) and saw that they had a gorgeous 1/48 Mirage III E and F-104G in store. I suspect that they are molds from another company, but man they look good!

Re: New products from Heller for 2023
Carlos, according to Scalemates the IIIE was originally a Kinetic kit that Heller reboxed. ESCI also did a IIIE in 1/48, the one I have is kit # 4030. Academy and Fujimi did 1/48 IIIC's in 1/48, Fujimi also did the IIIR in 1/48.
Much to my surprise I have 50 Heller kits. Haven't built any that I can remember, except for a little work on a 749 Constellation. They did the Mirage IV A in 1/50 and later in 1/48 as the IV P, I have both versions. A lethal looking airplane, I think. I am glad to see that they are reissuing the 1/48 kit in 2023, as the IV P version again.
