As it is raining I started another car kit, it says Revell on the box and in the instructions but guess what - stamped under a piece of plastic in small letters - HELLER. A little bit naughty really.
You may see it on here later.
There seems to be a lot of incestuous goings on with model companies. I can't understand how it is that some people - including members of our own club - know the most precise history of who moulded what, when and then where before it went to be resold under another label for this amount of time, then re-issued with parts x, y and z added to enable version 2 to be made, only to be bought out by a third company who then started trading under a different name but were a subsidiary of yet a different company who were affiliated to the packaging department of an independent organisation belonging to....yada yada yada.
I'd be tempted to just make the blasted thing and not worry about where it came from - as I'm sure you will do. I like both Revell and Heller anyhow so it'd make "no nevermind" to me whatever name was on the box.
The annoying part is you think that it may be something different, but it isn't.
...and that would be really annoying if you had bought the model from both companies only to end up with the same kit! Is that legal?
They all do it, poly bagging I believe.
I suppose it would be down to what was written in the contract to produce and market a particular kit. Scratch building is the only way to be sure eh Zak.
I am stamped 'Super human' on a part of my anatomy (let you guess which part) No its not my brain..........
Was I poly bagged at birth?
Was my dad Superman??

Should you have been poly bagged at birth may be a better question?
