Not wanting to distract from the modelling side of Eduard, but the artwork they are coming up with for their kits is absolutely stunning!
I dont know who paints them, but I'd love to know if they are available in prints.
Best artwork Ive seen since the iconic Airfix boxart of Roy Cross.

Hi Nige

I agree .. very nice artwork ... wonder what became of the EU regulations that all that is advertized on the box must be in it (I know Revell changed some box arts because of that .. Bv 222 with U-Boot or Breguet Atlantique with a freighter below)

My New Years resolution was to build more than I buy. So I guess I better get building.

Hi Steffen

Many thanks for holding the fort!

Reorganisation behind the scenes at Eduard before Christmas interrupted our normal sneak peaks for their upcoming releases. Hopefully, we're back in action and should begin to get ahead ahead of the game again.

February marks the release of the eagerly awaited 1/32 scale Bf 109E-1:



See the sprue-shots and list of Eduard's aircraft releases for the month ahead HERE.

All the best

hello Rowan

I am sorry I did not want to disturb your update schedule .. I have just seen it today an thought it would be nice to spread the news. While the new Bf 109 E-1 is surely the top news I also would like to point out the other two kits in 1/48 scale:
