Built by F. Schichau in Elbing, the Type 1939 Torpedoboote performed extremely well at sea. They were highly manoeuvrable, even in bad weather and especially when turning, despite a tendency to take on spray in strong winds. Well-armed and robust, their general appearance differed only slightly from one ship to another, essentially as regards weapons systems or the aerials for the detection systems and depending on their period.
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.
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.
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.
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.
