Beardie Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi all, Does anyone know if the new Schuckert from Eduard has already been released in eastern europe? I came across a listing on ebay from a seller in Poland with maximum feedback for it despite that Eduard haven't officially released it yet. I am keen to get a couple before they are gone as it seems that it is going to be a limited edition release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B. Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I looks to me that it is the old kit with a new resin engine plus a nice sheet of photoetch. Even so, a welcome release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yup maybe if a good number of people snap it up Eduard might be persuaded that WWI aircraft are worth investing in as a product range. They definitely have been moving away from this field of late even by their own admission here and there around the net. If only WNW could be persuaded to produce a 1/48 scale budget range for those without the space or funds for their 1/32 wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I am wrong, it is a new kit. The webpage, compares the old kit with the new. I didn't see the second set of photos showing the new tooled sprees. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I take it the old kit was not the easiest beastie to build as I have seen it suddenly appearing on ebay and at Kingkit now that the new one is in the offing. I had been keeping an eye out for one for a long time and it never came up but now it seems people are wanting rid of them. I was tempted to get one in just to try it prior to getting the new one but I think I will hold off for a couple of the new ones (maybe even six to do all the scheme options) and maybe grab a few of the Brassin extras to go with them.

Darby Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Would be nice to see a new tool of this one. A nice looking bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardie Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm guessing that the new kit has escaped into the wild judging by the fact that there are several sellers on ebay now listing it (Including tne british seller Polarbears3kitscatcat pictured on their burgundy paper backdrop that they photograph all their stuff on and one of the other sellers has an inside the box shot that I haven't seen in any of the previews of the kit. Meanwhile on Eduard's own site it has now taken up centre stage on the start page but is not yet available to buy. So I guess it is time to get on my marks for the official release (I rather fancy the T-shirt equipped option that Eduard are planning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
