.: Heller Boxart

Heller was founded in Paris in 1957. Its first model kit was a 1/100 scale Sud Aviation Caravelle, produced the following year. In 1963, a production facility was established in Trun, Orne. No Heller kit was likely to be a knowledgeable modeler's first choice for a U.S. or British subject of any era, though the Heller product line was bulked out with Mustangs, Spitfires, Hellcats, Corsairs, Crusaders, Tomcats, F-15s, Hurricanes, Sabres, Zekes, and other popular types.
