Roman Schilhart Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Initially, I had expected Eduard to extend their 1/72 Fw-190 A series to late versions (A-9/F-9) but that never happened. They left it to KORA to produce the A/F-9 variant (using the Eduard sprues in a new boxing). I'm not too confident about the Bf-109 series either as it's pretty well covered (AZ, new Tamiya..) Seems as if they move away from 72 scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 There should be at least some demand - the new 1/72 Fokker D.VIII sold out at Hannants within a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caughtinthemiddle Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, Welkin said: Tempest II might be logical. Doubt they will bother, but who knows. Otherwise, next year in 1/48 should bring more Mustangs, more Gustavs + the K-4, and Spitfire Mk.I for the next Eday (hey - it's BoB 80th anniversary!), with the Mk. Vb, which initially was said to be planned for a release before Mk.I, moving to 2021. For 1/72, prioritising Gustavs over Tempests is rather logical - how many boxes with Tempest Mk.V you can release and sell? Tamiya is not a big competition with their price in Europe (for one Tamiya Gustav you'll probably buy two Eduard weekend editions), and quite limited possibilities of what one can do with their kit, which represents a specific production variant of the G-6 (even one of the kit marking options is actually not suitable for the plastic included, as that aircraft should have different engine cowling) and no one knows if and when they will release any other variants. Eduard will surely bring us everything they already have (or plan to have) in 1/48, which aside from different G-6 variants, G-2, G-4 and G-5 also means different G-10 and AS variants never kitted by Fine Molds. And I also suspect the Friedrich family in the pipeline as well. Edited September 17, 2019 by caughtinthemiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 When initially speaking about Tempest project V.Sulc was saying Tempest Mk.II was slated for Royal Class with Mk.V, and released as stand alone item by Special Hobby first!... both Mk.VI and Mk.II will be totally new toolings, in the last few years there were numerous slated releases from Eduard that have been either put back on hold or scrapped.

Basuroy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I just hope they release the 72nd scale mig-21 pf/pfm and bis kits . BTW I just recalled them sharing 72nd CAD images of some interwar ( or was it WW1 ? ) airplane of Eastern European origin , I simply cannot recall the name but it is a cute looking airplane . It was a parasol airplane - anyone knows which plane I am talking about here ? they shared the CAD(along with some museum pics of the real thing) about 9-12 months back and it was supposed to be a surprise addition to the 2019 releases . No sign of it though. Edited September 18, 2019 by Basuroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basuroy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Found it - Simunek VBS 1 by Eduard . This is the kind of obscure subject that Eduard seems to have given up on though one might argue it is a tad too obscure even by their standards - only 1 piece ever made . https://www.72news.eu/2018/08/eduard-simunek-vbs-1-kunkadlo-2019.html Edited September 18, 2019 by Basuroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 As for the VBS 1, there is a background local story that I believe would not be understable to foreigners. Take it as a vagary of the CEO - some would buy a Lambo, he is making VSB-1... 🙂 Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) What happened to the '72nd scale' revolution? Since they announced that four years ago we have only had downscaled versions of the Spit IX, D-VII and Mig-21. All great kits but hardly a revolution. I was expecting a line to rival Tamiya's Warbird series in 72 scale but we're not quite there, to put it mildly. Shame, because Eduard's weekend edition kits are all fantastic value for money.

Unfortunately Eduard, in my humble opinion, don't care about 1/72. They focus on a quarter scale. It's not revolution but devolution… I think, around two years ago they claimed that this year we would have Bf 109 G/F but we won't have it until E-Day 2020 (if ever). I don't want to guess when we will get Tempests, Mustangs, new early Spitfires, early Wurgers (A-3 and A-4). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I whined on that previously, but am content with it now. My collection of non-built kits in 1/72 has grown exponentially and I don’t need more temptations 😑 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbjorn Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So I apparently got an Eduard 2020 catalogue with a recent order (freight costs were suddenly down to manageable again). Though the 1/72 pages are thin, there is this mention of a Royal class D.VII triple, and a Profipack Fokker D.VII Albatros-built. Can’t find any news about that, anyone knows more?
