Their 48 scale kits are wonderful and the MiG was flown by more then 60 countrys! I think Eduard are looking at the 109 F or G series, a completley new tooled kit in the Kotare style, but we´ll get a "profipack" style kit with all bells and whistles and later there will be a weekender too. The 48th scale 109 series, all marks and all scales are their all time best selling kits with more then 250.000 kits sold up until now. No wonder they look at the 32 market too... Stefan You can make that five! I can foresee no reason why a MiG-21 wouldn't sell[ in any version]. They got the data so how's about it Eduard? I built the Trumpy version ,not impressed.

Pup7309 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Not into jets that much but support a Mig 21. I’d definitely buy an Aussie version Sabre and Korean War Mig With WNW out of play do you think they might do reboxings of Roden and Meng? With extra goodies. Maybe even do a Fokker dvii, Albatros, Camel, Spad or Se5a which would sell well. And they’ve done the research, or at least WNW have- just a thought.

Iain Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 On 3/7/2024 at 8:12 AM, Gazzas said: The area behind the fuselage is swollen. It's not noticeable from the side... but viewed from the top, front, or rear, it looks awful. And once you see it... you can't un-see it. When I built mine, I felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite place it. And once I applied the early BoB camo pattern, it jumped out at me. It was in a group build and once completed and RFi pics posted, it went straight into the bin. Indeed - I picked the issue up when I built mine - only took a few minutes to 'fix' - but, fortunately, I caught it before the paint!

Cheetah11 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Never mind a new kit as welcome as it would be. I would be happy if they just scaled these up to 1/32. (And correctly size them for the Tamiya kit) Nick Out2gtcha, Mr.T and kalashnikov-47 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrown Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 The Hyperscale form now has Ask Eduard section and Validimr Sulc responded to an inquiry about 1/32 contenders. He confirmed that 1/32 is in consideration and said the the most likely candidates are the Fw 190 A, Bf 109G, and Spitfire IX... " But realistically, if we have to go to 1/32, it'll be a Fw 190 A or a Bf 109G or a Spitfire, and quite possibly it'll be a Spitfire, because we actually have a finished design for a Spitfire Mk.IX that we didn't release about 15 years ago, because Tamiya released it first. So the quickest way to get a new 1/32 kit from Eduardo is to modify the old Spitfire Mk.IX design to current parameters and standards and we're done.

Juggernut Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) And in that thread about scaling up some of their planes to 1/32 he said the 1/48 A6M3 was not a good seller for them and the Model 22 in particular so don’t look for any upscaled zeros from Eduard in the future. He say that between the zero and the P-51B/C, he’d choose the latter but then added what Ben wrote above about the Spitfire. Kind of disappointing if you ask me. We’ll see what they intend to do. Another Mk IX? I’ll pass. That was my question to Eduard in case anyone was wondering. Edited March 17 by Juggernut nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Indeed. If they go that route they will have soon another good reason to be disappointed by 1/32 sales! A MiG would be a far better idea as they would have no serious competitor. They could easily start with a MiG-15 family.

Tony T Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I don't yet have a Tamiya Spitfire IXc, just the Revell, so an Eduardo might be a perfect qualitative upgrade for folks like myself. And if they took the plunge with a MiG-21 Fishbed series, that would be magic. That, a -15UTI and -17F. I'm pretty sure none of those are going to happen in big scale, just 1:48, but a £75 1:32 Spitty would be at the right price point. Revells's inexpensive Spits are riddled with divots, and the Tamiyas slightly bland and expensive. Probably the right move. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 We already got THREE correct and different Mk.IX! Even if any Spit sells, I'm not convinced they will sell tons of them. Do not forget when they released their 1/32 Emil (Me 109 sell as well!), there was no good available kit and they did not look thrilled by the sales...

nmayhew Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 surprised the sales of 1/48 Zeros were meant to be disappointing though - I thought everyone raved about them? the Spit IX would sell poorly; it’s not a very glamorous marque in terms of variety of markings, and sorry but I just don’t think any IX Eduard would release in 1/32 would be as good as Tamiya’s A6M3 would be worth a shot - no-one else does one early 190 series would be a good seller, provided they go together well, and they have the advantage that no-one else does them (A-1,2,3) and that many won’t touch the one A-4 readily available (Zoukei-mura). But the tone sounds like they are just getting excuses ready to not do it Gary Needham, thierry laurent and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Cloud Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 A top shelf Spitfire Mk.IX should sell rather well, it is the best known version. Yes Tamiya is hard to beat but that's not necessarily the goal, a different kit with an equally impressive surface and possibly a better detailed cockpit out of the box with more options would do the trick I think. Tamiya or Revell Spitfires do not put any money into Eduard's pocket. Tony T and RBrown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
