Delivered today my manuscript and most of the pictures for the forthcoming Histoire & Collection book about Heller Musée models.

I may need a few specific boxart pictures, most notably BUZCO and HASEGAWA reboxings. I'll keep you informed.

The project is taking shape with a release date planned for June.

While some may have worried if there will be enough material to fill a book it turns out I have too much stuff! Especially the pattern blueprints which are very difficult to deal with as reproduced too small they become illegible.
I hope to have at least one or two reproduced in 1/72 scale ... for the multi-engined aircraft I don't know how we will show them.

Features :
- new interviews with the designers : JM Trochain , Ph De Lespinay , A. Maroutschak
- new interviews with the artists : Pautigny , Jamois
- a section on Leo Jahiel with repro of personnal material
- analysis of the catalogues, period interviews etc....
- blueprints (I hope to have blueprints for the not released Amiot 351 and MB131 but as luck has it I shall get them the day the book goes to the printer ...)
- special sections on Brifaut and ABT

I shall keep you posted.

I was planning to build the Mach2 Bloch MB131 and produce a fake Heller-Musée box for it, but I seem to have misplaced half the transparencies Confused

Any chance for larger size prints of the box art for the MB131 and Amiot 351 in this book?

unfortunately not. Most of the Lengellé art of this period has "disappeared" (probably "saved" by some people) so we only have the catalogues to work with...
