TWO new 1/72 kits will be shown sometimes during the spring this year! The plan is to make them available for sale next year. It won't be a Zero, Tempest, Wildcat, nor the P-51B! There is also mention that a Me 262 will be done in the future... It is said that they are another mass-produced iconic aircraft. So my guess is - MiG-21 BIS and MiG-21 SMT Source: https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=95280&hilit=royal+class&start=43275#p2628885 And also - ROYAL CLASS IS BACK BABY!!! They won't rebox the kits that came to be after it's cancellation...but it would be rather used as a way to promote newly tooled kits. P-51D will be the first new Royal Class box, this time in blue! 💙

Eduard just revealed what the secret kit is! As presumed - it will be the P-51D !!! It will follow their 1/48 one in markings and versions. Planed release date - 01.06.2024.

Here is the December 2023 Leaflet: https://www.eduard.com/out/media/distributors/leaflet/leaflet2023-12eng.pdf

The next Eduard Info will be an interesting read... Still not a hint of anything, but at least how I understood from the czech forum, the Kuňkadlo will be available again in December. (It was this year's E-Day ticket kit)

Again from a Facebook group: "He said we'd wait a few more months. On the contrary, a new big project has been practically confirmed in many hints. So almost certainly 1/48. And I can say that it will please builders of models from the Battle of Britain and the Soviet front. Not me, I don't like the plane. Understandably, it's again a mainstream type handled by many kit manufacturers. I won't write which one. The CEO has repeatedly asked that we keep it to ourselves. But since he smiled mischievously and showed 3D scans on the screen, the secret will probably be out soon anyway."

From the one of the Eduard fan Facebook group: "Rumourmongers: The new 1/72 project was not presented yesterday. And according to the CEO, it won't be unveiled anytime soon."

14:00 - 14:50 Kotel Eduard & Special Hobby / Vladimír Šulc and Alfred Riedel

Those are Hasegawa.

I saw a lot of critique regarding AH kit prices, from Eduards behalf. But other than that, as you say, could only be the language barrier.

They won't make any P-40 in 1/72 (as for the time being) due to a fact that they are partners with Special Hobby and they already have that one in their 1/72 range in almost all versions.

Mr. Šulc wrote already some weeks ago that they plan to announce a new 1/72 kit on E-Day this year. The kit itself should hit the market end of the next year. (I assume the next E-Day) He has already told that they will produce this new kit "no matter what the Poles have already planned". That already hints the P-51D, considering that Eduard eventually downscales their 1/48 kits. (Mr. Šulc also told they plan to speed up the proccess regarding downscaling the 1/48 kits in the upcomming years) Yesterday he dropped a new hint regarding the new kit! https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=95280&hilit=royal+class&start=41025#p2596426 It will bear "Stars and cockades, and crosses too". My assumptiont for P-51D looks correct: Stars - USAF Cockades - RAF + French Crosses - Swiss What do you think? What will the new 1/72 Eduard kit be?
