I look foreword to seeing what the other 1/32 will be, Eduard is well positioned to do a Wildcat.  Of course they are well positioned with most key subjects.  I plan on getting the B when they release it, I won't get a MkIX as I have built enough of those.

+1! I saw something over on Rumourmonger about this and they're talking a MkVIII. I won't be getting those [ so what's wrong with the Tamiya spits anyway?]. Have to admit a Wildcat would nice however.

Nothing is wrong with the Tamiya Spitfire kits, I think this is Eduard knowing they did a lot of work on the Spit and are probably prepared to release their own.  I was trying to avoid though the why did they release x, cliche.  I think you could go down the list of what Eduard has done, A6M3, Wildcat, Hellcat, 190, later 109G and so on series and find all sorts of subjects Eduard has researched and tooled to a high standard and would be in a great position to release a 1/32 kit.  

 

Anyway I think they will have a hit with the P-51B kit.

Excuse my ignorance, when is E day?

 

oooh maybe a P-40 family considering everything they have invested into that airframe for 1/48?

October 4th

I'll pass on the Spitfire IX and P-51B and go straight to №3 if it's a MiG-21. One of Eduard's best-selling 1:48 range by all accounts with huge scope for subvariant releases. 

 

Anyway, we'll find out in 30 days' time.

Anyone know what E Day is for or represents? Google comes back with scant few options, none of which correspond to October 4th. 

 

In any case, I'm already standing in line to buy that 1/32 P-51B kit...

+1! While I'll get on board for -51B/C , the Mig -21 is a most definite sale for me.

Interesting,  thanks. Wonder why another Mk IX, though, when there are already perfectly good Tamiya and Revell kits? As opposed to a V or a XIV?  I can guess by looking at the list of aircraft equipping 310, 312 and 313 Sqns. But hey, I'm not complaining, bring 'em on!

Big model show in Czechia run by Eduard every late September/early October.

+3 on MiG-21  ,,,  in matter of fact, good luck beating Tamiya's Spitfire offering.

A great show, on par with events like Moson, Telford etc...

Indeed... unless they sell it for half of the price. Personally I would also prefer a Mig-21 or Wildcat family...

I've got the Tamiya MK VIII and it seems fine to me , some corrections needed in the cockpit [instrument panel and other small things but no great shakes]. read over on Britmodeller where they were also doing a MK XVI, [ got that one too]. They could've broke things wide open and started a series of Griffon spits just sayin'.
