Car Mechanics I 1:24 Heller 82755

Plastic model kit to be assembled and painted: Car Mechanics I 1:24 Heller 82755

A set of figures depicting a team of mechanics at work, prepared by the renowned company Heller in the popular 1:24 scale. This is an excellent complement for modelers dealing with civilian vehicles, allowing for the creation of a realistic workshop scene or garage diorama.

Set characteristics:

• The set includes 3 mechanic figures in various dynamic poses: one working under the chassis in a lying position, a second kneeling by a wheel, and a third assisting in a squatting position.
• Total number of parts: 22.
• Figure height: approximately 77 mm.
• Precise reproduction of workwear details and facial features.
• The set includes basic workshop tools held by the figures.

Historical and technical background:

The work of a car mechanic is an inseparable element of automotive history. The figures in this set stylistically refer to European workshops from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Characteristic work overalls and a set of hand tools, such as open-end wrenches, allow the scene to be placed in a broad time context – from the 80s up to contemporary times. The 1:24 scale is a standard in automotive modeling, which makes these figures perfectly match models from brands such as Peugeot, Renault, or Volkswagen, often found on workshop lifts.
