fishplanebeer Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It's just a pity that Eduard no longer have any of their Spitfires of Bf110's in their range at present, or thinking about it anything of interest WW2 wise apart from a re-hash of their ageing Hellcat which is well past its sell by date IMHO. Not sure exactly what was trashed in their fire but hopefully some of their better molds have survived? Regards Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDriskill Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Interesting to see such an old thread pop back up, and contemplate how the scene has changed over that time. It's been a fantastic decade for 1/72 scale! My vote today, though, would go to Tamiya. As mentioned above the Zero variants, Bf 109G-6, and Ki-61 have a combination of detail, accuracy, and easy-to-build engineering that are at the top, with the slightly older Corsair and Thunderbolt very close...though a horde of excellent Eastern European manufacturers are right behind them. Unsolicited editorial comment: Tamiya is missing a sure bet by not making equal quality kits of some other WW2 Japanese fighters!

None of the Eduard molds were damaged in the fire. They did lose about a million plastic sprues intended to go into future kit releases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will also be picking up some more Tamika kits in addition to the Tamika F4 Corsair I’ve bought. Thanks for the recommendations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishplanebeer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Lucky devil, the Eduard Spitfire VIII is excellent even if it is a bit 'fiddly' but it goes together really well so well worth the patience required. Regards Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For inspiration see my build (Not a VIII, but a IX, they are very close and share a lot of parts): /Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
