Thanks!

The Mig-21 is a difficult shape? You must be kidding Mr Eduard! That is one of the poorest excuses I have heard for the delay in the release of a model. Wonder what the real reason is?

MIG 21? Where are the 1:48

Nieuport 21-27?

Sopwith Triplane reissue with Brassin?

Sopwith Snipe or Salamander?

Fokker V.4 - 29?

PE / Brassin German or Allied bomb racks !

Oh my lanmtations of Early Aviation being marooned with such abandon! Woe is us. My heart is broken assunder. How shall we survive?

(too over the top?)

Hello Warren,




"The Mig-21 is a difficult shape?" aren't the words used in the interview. We spoke of "design" which is something a little different. Take a look at the Eduard Facebook page (link in the article) and you will see what I mean.

I don't think we can blame a manufacturer for trying to get the best possible model kit on the market...!? Eduard isn't searching for excuses (they haven't done something wrong yet) but are trying to inform their customers which is something few manufacturers do.

I'm happy that my hard work on the interview was of interest for you. You can't imagine you pleased I am to receive answers like yours after hours of work...

Hi again,




It should read "You can't imagine how pleased I am to receive answers like yours after hours of work... "

Sorry, it was early in the morning when I wrote the above text. By the way, has the edit function been disabled once again?
