Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

Jeff,
Thanks for the pics...First time for me seeing some of these planes & vehics
and I have to say...Bravo! What great little works of art they are. I can see why Louis loves them so much, all handcrafted!

I agree Mike, I hadn't seen any before either so I thought a little google was in order.

I recognize most of these photos as being from prior Vectis Auctions. Search Heco on Vectis' finished auctions link and there are some other cool photos, including a V1 Buzzbomb, and, if I remember correctly, the Rolls Royce Halftrack I mentioned and a WWI truck with a damaged WWI aircraft fuselage on the flatbed. Here is a link to some shots of other Heco items, including the above referenced items, as well as a barrage balloon, a nissan hut, the SE5a I recently purchased:

Any chance one of you guys with computer skills could follow the links and post the photos? There are some really beautiful items.

The catalogue I had scanned and asked Brad to post for me lists around 60 pieces, and has pictures of around 30. They include a Renault FT17 Tank, a Whippet Tank, both Mark I and a Mark IV British Tanks, Rolls Royce, Crossley & Austin Armored Cars, several trucks, including a mobile pigeon loft for the signals corps., several sea planes, including the Supermarine S6 Schneider Trophy winner, a Hawker Hurricane, a bunch of buildings, including Nissan Huts, Hangers, a Anti-Aircraft emplacement and a Royal Flying Corps. workshop, and three boats, including a WWI German Gunboat.

After the photos of the items in the catalogue I had scanned get posted by Brad, I will take some photos of my Heco collection, including the two pieces I gave to my friend Morgan, including the following Heco items: Tiger Tank, British Mark IV Tank, Rolls Royce Armored Car, Rolls Royce Halftrack, AEC Matador Lorry (one of my favorites), V1 Bomb, 15 WWI Planes, including a Bleriot Monoplane, Fokker Eindecker, Fokker DR1 Triplane (2), Sopwith Camel (4, including one in 1:64 scale), a Nieuport 17, a Vickers Gunbus pusher plane, an SE5a (my favorite Heco piece so far), a Sopwith Triplane, and three others I can't identify, an RAF Tower with a windsock, and a Zulu War Heliograph Team.

This is my Heco Dehaviland DH1 2 Seat Pusher Bi-plane...Only piece I have so far.....Michael

 

[Louis Badolato]

Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

Beautiful plane, Michael. The pusher planes have a special charm, don't they. I will be taking photos of my single seater pusher plane along with the rest of my Heco stuff tomorrow, and will politely ask Brad to post them for me when he gets a chance.

Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

Thanks Brad! I appreciate you posting photos for computer incompetents like myself . . .

Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

Louis, no problem and my pleasure. Sorry for the delay.

Here comes more Heco, as follows:

Heco Vickers Gunbus Pusher Plane

Reverse View of Heco Vickers Gunbus Pusher Plane

Heco Two Seater BiPlane

Heco Single Seat BiPlane Fighter

Two Heco Sopwith Camels, the smaller is a one of a kind 1:64 scale model. This is an interesting photo because if you didn't know one was plane was smaller than the other, you would think one plane is above the other, suspended in air. Nicely done.

And under the Fokker Eindecker is a Bleriot Monoplane. Thanks again Brad!

Also, I may have some more tinplate treasures to photograph within the next week or so . . . .

Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

Louis & Brad,
A big thank-you for these pictures of Heco...Each one is a piece of art, the tank, trucks, planes.. I can see the rivets and seam joints on the tin. What beauties!
Mike

Re: Wanted: Heco Tinplate Vehicles

These are great looking models. I believe that the I.D. of the Fokker Eindekker might in fact be a late war Junkers which was a 2 seater and has a similar shaped tail. It was of all metal construction too. --lancer
