It is back on stock and one Greek magazine claims that it is one of the nicest heli kits ever …?
True or market folly?..
The mag is right. It is a great kit. The search forum is currently down, but when it comes back up you can do a search of the forums and find quite a few threads on it. Here is one I built a while ago.
I highly recommend the kit. Mine was an older version from the '80s (I think). I hear the new one has upgraded molds and some new parts as well. Should be nice.
For older kit it is very detailed!
Not for the weak at heart though…lotz of skill needed for this big helo.
I have heard that a new version id due this year but have not seen anything yet…I wonder what they will charge for this kit nowdays??
Here is mine:

Post a link if you find anything about a NEW version of this kit…otherwise you can usually find one on ebay. 30.00 to 60.00 USD.
Is that the Heller Kit# 80489 - 1/32 Super Frelon SA.321G?
Great Models just put it up as a new or re-issue release.
$39.95
Don’t know if it’s just a re-pop or re-tooled. They don’t give any info.

Wow! even at 50.00 bucks thats not bad for a kit with that many parts and size!
I’m sure that I read somewhere that the cockpit and some other parts were going to be re-tooled. We will see.
If I find out any more info I will let you know.

Hey Arty the model is NICE…But remind me is it 1/72 or 1/32 as stated by James…?
Its 1/35
LOL! Didn’t notice that. Copied from Great Models. 1/32 is what they show.

All I know is I started one, didn’t finish it, lost it somehow. And I want another
one!
