STARTER KIT B-707 A.F.


In 1950, the Boeing company began to study a four-engine aircraft with both civilian and military applications. On 14 May 1954, the Boeing factory in Renton produced a 367-80 which made its first flight on 15 July. This prototype will be used for the joint development of the KC-135 in-flight refuelling aircraft and the well-known Boeing 707 civil aircraft. On 15 October, Pan American ordered its first six jets, Boeing 707-121s. Subsequently, the Boeing 707 was developed in parallel with the different military C 135 and 137 versions, to give the 200 series, then the 300 series, which are very different. Built in nearly 1000 units, the Boeing 707 embodies the beginnings of contemporary air transport. Solid and reliable, this aircraft was very popular with both its crews and passengers. They were normally designed to accommodate 134 passengers in two classes. Air France‘s Boeing 707s have been named after castles. The „Château de Vincennes“ was the second of the 29 ordered by the French national airline.

Recycling
Because it's important to us!

At Heller, we are constantly working to produce our products as sustainable as possible. In recent years, we have therefore taken many measures to increase resource efficiency as much as possible.


Recycling
Recycled plastic

Since 2023, we have been producing all Heller model kits with recycled plastic. This gives existing plastic a new life in a great kit while maintaining the same quality.


Recycling
No bags and film

Instead of packing our sprues in plastic bags, we use tissue paper to transport all components in a clean, protected and environmentally friendly way. Thanks to our seal closure, we do not need shrink film. This also significantly increases the recyclability of our packaging.


Recycling
Oldies but Goldies

We are proud of our large archive of injection moulds. That is why we rework, repair and improve existing moulds instead of throwing them away. Great models are preserved and at the same time a lot of energy and material is saved. That's why we proudly display the year of manufacture of our moulds and the year of the last general overhaul clearly on every product box.
