Heres something i got off ebay last week and decided to run it alongside the tigercat build. Its the SMER reboxing of the Heller Dewoitine d500/501. A lovely looking thing that was very advanced for its time , being one of the first all metal, stressed skin monoplane fighters . It first entered service in 1935 but soon got overtaken by the speed of progress in the early war years. Nevertheless it was still being used up to 1940. The kit is typical mid seventies Heller , lovely surface detail ( raised but i dont mind ) ,razor sharp trailing edges but not much interior at all- Im going to bung in a pilot to sort that . The one big drawback with Heller kits of this era was the decals , they were VERY matt and always had yellowish carrier film , no such problems here as the newer SMER kits have excellent decals by propagteam. Heres some sprue shots
