Some of the weapons in the 1:48 MiG-21 were left out of the 1:72 one, in particular the R-3R/AA-2-2 Advanced Atoll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Ian- Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Have Eduard permanently discontinued their Royal Class releases, I think the last one was well over a year ago? Edited June 15, 2021 by -Ian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seboo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 According to what Mr Sulc wrote on Modelforum.cz they prefer to concentrate on Limited Edition kits as it gives more possibilities than Royal Class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me those were more like collector's items. I have not had any ... although looking at all the other Eduard kits in the stash I seem to be a collector rather than a builder Hmmm... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Jeez, you’d think they’d abandoned 1/72 completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic26 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Wow, between the U.S. Spitfires, the JV44 190D and the Tempest Mk.II this is shaping up to be a brillant (and expensive) month. 10 hours ago, lasermonkey said: Jeez, you’d think they’d abandoned 1/72 completely.

Currently, only the Mig 21 and the Albatros are in stock. The Spitfires, Hellcats and FW-190 are all still listed as temporarily unavailable on their website. Given what has happened it will surely take some time before you could order them again. Edited June 16, 2021 by 112 Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 As Eduard mentioned- no tools were damaged during the fire, but it will take time for them to re-stock. Due to informal/formal war between Eduard and Special Hobby on one side and AZ/KP on the other, both of the former are keeping smaller scale plans very close to their chest, there will be plenty more 72 kits, but will remain secret until very close to their release date. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamwriter Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Another overpriced "Limited Edition" of a B-25, that is nothing more than a Profipack like edition,with just the resin wheels and a couple more decal schemes. Long gone are the days when Eduard Limited Editions actually had added value content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank152 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I can't get my head round the fact people don't like Eduard's decals, yes cartograph are great but you still have carrier film with them, with Eduard's you don't after peeling it away. People need to look at their own methods of using them instead of blaming the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I was perfectly happy with the carrier film decals Cartograph provided, while the new Eduard ones make placement of smaller stuff like squadron codes a pain. I freely admit that it's probably a lack of skill on my part in that regard, but I can't place decals like that at the perfect angle right away, and moving new style Eduard decals in place without tearing or crumpling them seems difficult to me.

Ah, Eduard's original thin decals, something else everything bleated about. Different decals need different methods of application, one size doesn't fit all i'm afraid.

falcon04 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 A solution to most thin decals or Eduard / HGW decals is something to eliminate surface tension in the liquid used in application. A simple solution - use distilled or purified water and add a small amount of baby shampoo ( I use Johnson's in the US ) - 1/4 teaspoon of shampoo to 1 quart of water and use to both remove the decal from the backing and as a prep on the glossy surface of the model. Warm the water as you usually do. I zap a cup in the microwave just enough to warm a little. A plain drop of water will "ball up" and lift the decal, causing the wrinkles and folds. "The Mix" will spread out like a coat of paint , and contain a minimum of detrimental chemicals and will leave very little residue. Try it - used by auto decal and window tinters since the last century. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
