Info Eduard - July 2011
of Flight’ for his report card. On the other hand,
he also opted to take home four old KP kits,
and with more than a little gusto, he dove in,
and started gluing and painting, so perhaps
the truth about the lack of young blood lies
somewhere in the middle. That would actually
even be supported by the junior categories at
ModellBrno, where one could see some really
nice pieces of work. People will always feel the
instinctive need to create something with their
own two hands to keep from going nuts, and
a model should be a satisfactory outlet.
There will be no ModellBrno next year, which is
a bit of a surprise, but all in all, understandable.
There will be one in 2013. To maintain a show
of this calibre year after year at the same
location is no small feat. Even model exhibitions
need new impulses to stay attractive, and those
aren’t always easy to nd. The last decade
has brought the model exhibition to virtual
perfection, and it raises the question of ‘what
next?’. Its something even we are dealing with,
and as was noted in an earlier newsletter,
we have decided to drop E-day down to one
exhibition day. Personally, I doubt that it’ll help,
and people will grumble on. Myself, I feel that
the problem is not so much that the show goes on
through a long Sunday, but rather that the vast
majority of people try to leave the show as soon
as possible without staying to the ofcial end.
That’s it from me for today. Note our ofce
will do only necessary operations the rst week
of July, because there are two state holidays
mid-week, and most people will stay home or
leave for their holidays during this week. So if
we don’t answer your e-mails until the end of
the week, don´t worry, we will answer later, but
answer we surely will! Enjoy your holidays too,
and I know we’ll see a lot of you in Omaha,
and the rest in September in Pilsen. Yes, we are
making a long overdue return to Plzen Kit, to the
place where E-day originated. And speaking
of Omaha, we will bring the new Hellcat as well
as the Tempest, and we also are holding back
an extra Omaha batch of the MiG-29s, because
we expect this Limited Edition would be sold out
by then.
Keep on Modelin’
