1144 Fw 190A „Nachtjäger“ – Dual Combo in 1/48
8184 Fw 190D-9 in 1/48, one of the news for 2010.
We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Daisuke
Yasutake, marketing manager of Beaver Corporation
for the photographs and information from the show.
For the second time, Eduard took part in the main Bra-
zilian model show hosted by IPMS Rio. This year, the
theme of the show was squarely aimed at the Ameri-
can air force. For this event, Eduard sponsored several
awards including our traditional Eduard Trophy.
1. Best USN Aircraft to 1945, one by an F6F-3,
2. Brassin Award for best jet aircraft irrespective of cate-
gory, the winner of which won three Brassin sets of his
or her choice,
3. Best WWI aircraft, the winner of each wins a dual
combo kit from Eduard of his or her choice,
4. Best Eduard kit with the winner getting an Eduard
Pro pack kit of his or her choice, and
5. Best use of Eduard PE, the prize there being a Big Ed
set of his or her choice.
The results were well worth it:
1. Best USN Aircraft to 1945 – Eduard Trophy: Helldiver from Aca-
demy in 1/72nd scale by Alysson Cesar Oliveira De Castro from
Fortaleza/CE, some 2500 km from Rio. This was his second visit
to this contest, and again he walked away with many awards.
2. Best Jet: Hasegawa F-18 by Carlos Magno Leal. Furthermore,
the Eagle Statue con rmed that this was one of the ‘top ten’ models
of American aircraft at the show. The IPMS-RIO Trophy went
to Rodrigues Vaz.
