Heritage kits?

[Spellbinder99]

I have searched, but so far I can't find a link to their site. I am sure someone here must have it.

Im not sure their site is running at the moment.  U after a kit or two?

[Spellbinder99]

I know I have been to their site at one time, but I can't find any links listed anywhere. There is an e-bay seller that has a fairly wide range of their stuff and I have an Airfix 1/24th scale Harrier GR-3 I was thinking of getting some detailing parts for one day and I understand they do resin upgrade stuff for the kit.

Basically I wanted to see their whole range including prices. I understand the 1/72 scale TSR-2 is pretty pricey, though some of the brass details look good.

So is Aardvark Models the same company?

Aardvark

They seem to offer exactly the same product such as the TSR-2 with all the brass and white metal/decals. I know the Wooksta has mentioned that the molds have gone through Toad, Aardvark and Heritage but I forget which came first.....

This is where it gets Murky. The company now known as Heritage used to be called Aardvaark.

That Aardvark is a reseller who sells the products also avqailable from Heritage

I've never managed to get to the bottom of the relationship

Thanks Wooksta. So the short answer is that if I wanted a resin TSR-2, then the Aardvark version sold at the site I linked to is OK?

I know you have said that the brass is overcomplicated in the kit, but would the details be good add-ons for an Airfix kit is someone released them seperately?

So, the Resitech TSR2 came back out again sometime in 2000 under the Aardvark label.  Sometime later, Aardvark moved to the Heritage Centre at Elsecar and changed their name to Heritage.

When Martin changed to Heritage, the Aardvaark name went to the guy in Sheffield whose website SB links to. I got involved in an animated rms discussion about his relationship to Martin (If you look at the site, the appearance is that the kits are under Aardvaark's name.

[Spellbinder99]

See, now I am confused. Does this mean that if I ordered the 1/72 scale TSR-2 kit from the Aardvark site I linked to, I would get a Heritage boxed kit?

Just asking.

AFAIK, Yes.
