Most of us will agree the kits Eduard puts out these days are among the best on the market. I know some people wont agree with this and will find things to nitpick in just about any kit. I am anxiously awaiting the Me110 series. I already have a closet full of FWs, Albatros', Fokkers, and even a whale, patiently awating their turns. I search their web site for information on new releases and where they stand on upcomming releases of Dr.Is, 110s, and dual D.Vs. They have made me a loyal fan.
The rumor that they may delve into 1/32 scale releases. Wow. I would be thrilled if they were to take any of their latest releases and scaled them up. Could you imagine what the FWs would be like with all that detail, and photoetch in 1/32. How about an Albatros D.V? I would probably get a dozenor two of those and make the entire Jasta 5. Talk about colorful. Same thing on Fokker Tripes and D.VIIs. Me 110s would be lined up all over my office.
I don't know if I could pick one kit that I would like to see as a first release in 1/32. I would probably go for the Albatros D.V.
So, what would you like to see them release as their first kit in 1/32? And remember, Somebody from Eduard might be reading your answer.

Hi Carl!
I think their first 1/32 scale kit will be a Bf 109 E.

Howdy CaptainA,
Thx for asking this question. And if indeed there are any Eduard reps lurking about I can only hope they will listen.
To answer your question from a personal standpoint I will go completely crazy and jump out onto a limb
In keeping with the envelope-busting example of the recent 1/35th scale german 'Dora' railway gun....I would LOVE to see just about any WWI bomber done in 1/32nd scale... .....but chances of that are somewhat akin to peace in the middle east.......

Hi Carl!
Sorry I didn't undersood the first time... you know I'm French!
So what is the second release I would like to see after the Bf 109 E? Why not an early Spitfire? Eduard could make a Royal Class Battle of Britain boxing!

Must have somthing to do with the wine? Add a Hurricane and the price would probably top $250. I'm in.
