Heller Alternate Reality and WHIF

[Green Dragon]

Was just on Modelstories and they have posted an excellent What If version of the history of Heller with some great box art for kits that should have been. Especially the 1/72nd Heinkel He274 and Mirage G8 prototypes! http://modelstories.free.fr/histokits/HELR_ALT_P/index.html

Also they've got a French colours Apollo 27 by JC Carbonel. http://modelstories.free.fr/analyses/avions/MS2009_05P/PEGA_A27/index.html

Love the Alt Heller History.

Now someone needs to do Monogram, Revell, Airfix, Aurora, etc.

Paul,

Coolness!  And that French Apollo 27 is fitting.  The bird looks like something Tin Tin would be rocketing around in anyway!

Thats fantastic, well done to JC 

I saw that Apollo 27 in Modelzone yesterday, nearly bought it for a Dan Dare build, might still do that 

[Green Dragon]

I was thinking of getting one for a Dan Dare build too, don't like the girder work for the engine supports but that's easily fixed. One of the first SciFi type books I read was that Tin Tin on the moon one loaned from a Library so if I get the Apollo 27 it could go either way.

That's easy Paul, just buy 2.

I also don't like the engine supports.  If I get one will either skin them or replace with some wing or stab pieces from another kit.
