That barrage balloon would be something to have.

I sent you some photos of Heco models a few years ago from a catalogue. Assume you still have them.

Yes, and you posted them on the Heco Thread at my request. The pages from MLK Models Catalogue include photos of Spad 13, Crossley Armored Car, Standard Single Seat Biplane, DR1 Triplane, Type 52 Radar Nissen Hut, Tiger Tank & SE5a (post 522).

I found a photo of the Heco Gee Bee Racer in an old Toy Soldier Magazine article. Will try to photograph the picture in the article and post.

Got the Austin Armoured Car and the Crossley Arnoured Car. Still need the rest as well as the Lanchester Armoured Car.
 
Anybody? I'd especially like to find the Sopwith Tripe for my friend . . . :smile2:

I obtained the Junkers JU52, but am still after the rest.
 
I am also looking for a few HECO WWI aircraft to add to my collection of HECO models of the mounts of the Saxon Aces

Fokker EIII Eindecker (for Max Immelmann)

Siemens Schuckert (DIII / IV) fighter - I believe Louis is also looking for this elusive bird (although for some reason it is not on his list) so hopefully eventually two examples will turn up.

Albatros with flat sided fuselage - somehow last year I managed to miss seeing a red one on Ebay until after it was sold - gutted

While as Mark points out, I do want a Siemens Schuckert (DIII / IV) fighter, he has dibs on the first one we find.:smile2:
 
I can see that if a Siemens Schuckert (SSW) DIII / DIV does ever turn up then Louis and I will have to play 'Paper, Scissors, Stone' with the loser being forced to take the first one. I did once see one either in Udet's red or JG II blue on the HECO table at the London Show many years ago when I first met Tony and Adele and it sparked my interest / love affair with these unique models. Unfortunately, although I agonised for a while but I was not collecting HECO at the time and it did not fit in to my collection. So as I could not really afford the £200 so I reluctantly did not buy a decision I have lived to regret, but just a year or so later I made a decision to slightly broaden my Saxon Army collection to include the odd WWI Saxon ace and duly purchased my first HECO an Albatros DV and now have that dreaded collecting bug.

If it is the last thing I do I'm going to get you this plane, my friend!:smile2:
