One kit above all others dominates Eduard's latest line-up of releases... the eagerly awaited Royal Class 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E!
Every Royal Class release promises something special, and the Bf 109E looks to be arguably the best yet, with the impressive package containing no less than 13 sprues, with parts for two complete kits covering the E-1, E-3, E-4 and E-7 versions, comprehensive photo-etched resin details, painting masks and Cartograf decals for no less than 12 colour schemes and, as the first of the Royal bonuses, a set of Eduard's new Brassin Bf 109E wheels.

The next bonus is a superdetailed 1:4 scale Bf 109E instrument panel and Revi 12D gunsight which promises to be even better than that included with the Royal Class Bf 110 a few years ago. And, finally, the third bonus is a limited edition polished metal thermos mug, complete with a Bf 109E logo and numbered "data-plate" - just right for a cup or tea or coffee (or perhaps something stronger!) as you sit back and admire the rest of the "Kӧnigsemil".

Eduard have posted a video teaser of the Bf 109E on YouTube.

Notwithstanding all the attention understandably focused on the Bf 109E, Eduard have still found time to release a very full line-up of kits and accessories for the month ahead. Here's the full list:

They sent me their monthly catalog update too. It included a film segment about the 109. I wish they would do a 1:48 Sopwith Snipe or Salamander.

Hey Stephen, guess how many Snipes they would sell in the time a production run of 1500 Bf109s goes over the counter... but I feel your pain in so far that a lot of significant aircraft are not "kitted" yet because the potential sales are much weaker than another Albatros, Spitfire, Mustang, 109, F-16, Phantom II, ... off to my workbench to finish this one Frohe Ostern! cheers Steffen
