mywifehatesmodels Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I just recently completed this trio for a friend. All from the new-tooled Eduard kits. I did the two Friedrichs at the same time, then followed up with the G-6. I really like the shape and detail of these Eduard kits. However, there are some portions of the construction that really tested my patience. The worst part being the wheel wells. I found it impossible to get both sides to fit right on a single plane, even having three shots at it (actually, SIX shots!). They really went out of their way to see how many pieces they could use to make a wheel well and it was really not needed, IMO. I also had issues with canopy fit. In true Eduard fashion, they're meant to be displayed open. My friend wanted them closed (for the first time ever. Go figure!). They turned out okay, I guess, but I won't be building any more of them. Other than surface detail, I don't really see any real advantages in these kits over what else is out there that is easier to build. Sorry about the poor pics. The weather just didn't cooperate for any outdoor shots at the time and I was also having lighting problems in my shop at the time I took the G-6 photos.

Gazzas Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very nice job! I agree, the Eduard has great surface detail... but there is something in every Eduard kit I've had that pi55ed me off. Gaz mywifehatesmodels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Thanks, guys! I appreciate the feedback, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to LSPs and I still have a 1/35 T-34/76 (1940 model) to finish up, as well.

mustang1989 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Really good looking builds. I've got an Eduard 109 in the stash but have been eyeballing the newer Tamiya release. mywifehatesmodels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
