MikeR Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 - Avia B.534 - Focke Wulf 190A family - Messerschmitt 109G - Spitfire Mk.IX - MiG-21 2nd & 3rd generation - Me-262 (but the 1/48 will be released first) Kits from the list above was mentioned By Vladimir Sulc several times on Czech discussion forum (the sequence does not reflect the release roadmap). My personal guess is that this roadmap is approx till 2017. As far as I remember, the "revolution" is more about release schema and products configuration. E.g. weekends will consists of 2 camouflage schemes, there will be "supefabric" seat belts as well. Moreover, existing molds will be released in a limited edition, may be any specials (my wish is L-39V). No 3rd party rebox is considered now (1/72) If I remember well, Eduard ambition is to release a 1/72 kit each month....:-) Note: in 1/48, Eduard will rebox Trumps Mig-23 and Hasegawa A-4M Good news about the MiG-21 - I've been hoping they were going to scale those down.

dazdot Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 What's wrong with the Hasegawa B-24? Somehow revolution sounds a bit dangerous IMO (like their 1/48 Me 109 G proved), they should try to be a bit more humble with their announcements, if possible lol ... Mr. Schulz certainly likes to take his mouth full. Three things price, complexity, availability. That's the hase kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Note: in 1/48, Eduard will rebox Trumps Mig-23 and Hasegawa A-4M Regarding the A-4M, we can expect another coopération with Furball. Still, I hope they'll also consider foreign users for the camo options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Put up another for a new tooled 1/72 MiG-19! There's enough of them kicking around in Czech museums that Eduard will not be short of research material to work with. I already know a new tooled MiG-19 won't be coming from AZ; I asked the owner at a show here a couple of years ago and he quite clearly said he had no plans for that. I would actually like to see them take a shot at a fully new tooled 1/72 families of MiG-23/27, Sukhoi Su-22 and Suckhoi Su-25. They were all important aircraft that have been under served in styrene and the kits that exist of them all have issues that a careful tooling would avoid. Additionally, they all served in the Czech military so research material would be no problem to acquire. Between the domestic Czech market and the international market, I think any of those could be a reasonably good bet for them. If I wanted to put a wild card out there, I'd say an accurate 1/72 Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer that isn't a massively over engineered pain to get together, such as the Streem kit is, is Loooong overdue. Particularly if it comes with any degree of decent underwing stores, the Streem kit didn't even have drop tanks. I still gnash my teeth a bit at Zvezda's cheek of reboxing the old Italeri/Dragon Su-24 kits. I could not believe a self respecting Russian manufacturer would do that rather than make a new tooling.

JMMendes Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I would love a Mig-3 since nothing of quality is in the market at 1/72...or a Lagg-3. If its something from VVS i will be happy... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Proposed 1:72 releases….. Yawn….Yawn…..Yawn….Yawn…..Yawn……Yawn….Yawn…….Yawn (with the possible exception of the MiG 19 and 21) How many more ME Bf-109s, Fw 190s, Spitfires can we (should we) endure ?……..PLEASE come up with something more ORIGINAL !! ……Blackburn Buccaneer, Mirage 2000C, Saab Viggen, F-101A/C or RF-101 Voodoo, Scimitar, F-5E Tiger II, Gloster Javelin, HAL Marut Beaufighter, Beaufort, Ki-84, P-40E/M, Baltimore etc etc etc This... Though I would love them to finish of their 1/48 Spitfire line with a Mk. Vc, Mk. VIII & Mk. XVI.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I would love a Mig-3 since nothing of quality is in the market at 1/72...or a Lagg-3. If its something from VVS i will be happy... +1! How about a 1/72 Yak-9D or Yak-1b? Or an I-16 type 5? Or an I-153? I'm very hopeful that the AZ/Kovozavody Prostejov La-5 series will be released on schedule! Edit - Things are looking up! Go here for news about the long-overdue (first announced in 2011) ICM 1/72 I-153: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234967600-172-polikarpov-i-153-chaika-by-icm-box-art-cad/ .John Edited September 18, 2014 by John Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 +1 from me too. For me the interesting VVS birds are Airacobra (RS models serves), La-5 variants (KP will deliver), Il-2m3 (plenty!), Pe-2 (decent, but not recent Airfix) and the Yak-9, for which please see my post #19, I think we have a serious situation here!

sroubos Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Lots of great ideas here, but I would expect more from a revolution Reading Eduard's last newsletter, there are some hints. They write about the difficulty of bringing the Profipack treatment to their 1/72 kits due to the fact that including the etch and the resin pushes up the price up much more than on a 1/48 scale kit, when you look at it percentage-wise. So this is where I think the revolution thing comes in: A cost effective way of releasing 1/72 kits with lots of goodies. Which kit? Don't care, I love all of Eduard's recent 1/72 efforts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivokrevnik Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Mig-17 maybe? Not too far fetched after the 15... this choice was explicitly denied by Mr. Sulc, the owner, on one of the Czech forums. sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiff guy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 urika I have it a mirage III family o if it has to be Russian a mig 23 or su 15 family Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 urika I have it a mirage III family Can't see them coming back on this subject. Their 1/48 mirage is starting to get old, and an 1/72 one would need more than a "simple" scaling-down. And beside, what's the meaning of révolution? New kits, or else?

John Thompson Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yak-9. No real competition in current kits available, not hurting any of their AM sales, sexy plane as hell and, I guess I haven't said this yet, sexy plane as hell! V-P I agree! I think a new 1/72 Yak-9D is long overdue, and it would have the market (even if it may not be as large as the demand for a Bf-109) almost tied up. In other words, launch a new Bf-109, or Spitfire, or P-51; share the market with 5 or 6 other manufacturers. Do a Yak-9D and have the market all to yourself, ignoring possible reissues of the ancient and inaccurate Airfix and ICM kits. I really believe that someone (Zvezda?) will give us a new Yak-9D soon, but maybe I'm paying too much attention to the voices in my head again...

vppelt68 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've waited for Zvezda to do also a Bf 109 F-4 based on their F-2, in 72nd scale I mean. In vain. They do a nice Yak-3 but based on the Bf wait experience I don't expect a dash 9 from them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meisnerr Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I agree! Eduard cooperation with Roden [WW1 1/72 Roden Kit with Eduard add-ons] is dead for now. Mainly because of #something. So... I don't give a #something for any soviet subject from central EU producers. Mainly because of #something. Zvezda new 1/48 will be... Bf109G6 - after Eduard flop. In 1/72 scale for some reason Zvezda preparing... Ju-87B snap - kit. AZ model roumors included fw190A7/A6, so... no-no focke family from Mr. Sulc[?]. Eduard Revolution? New weekend edition formula - with two markings instead of one plus fabric belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Saab Viggen! Please!!! The Heller kit is about 35 years old now. It is time for a new 1/72 Viggen. However, I think that something Russian is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
