Info Eduard - August 2011
EDITORIAL
Well, August would be the second of the lazy,
hazy summer months, but not here. We are taking
part in two shows this month, and that makes this
about the busiest month of the year, at least for
some of us. We’ll be at the IPMS Nats rst, in
early August, in Omaha, and then, in late August,
we will participate in the Pilzenkit show in Pilzen.
And to top it off, our design ofces are gearing
up for the busy release schedule for the autumn
months on all fronts.
We have a hot new little item for August.
This is the month of the seventy second scale
Hellcat. We are now in a position to make many
small scale lovers happy with this kit. We have
already spent a lot of time building this new kit,
and all of our testers are in agreement that this
kit follows well on the heels of the MiG-21 in
terms of quality and detail. I personally am very
pleased to open our new 72nd scale age with
his item. Our idea is to develop well detailed,
easy to built kits, with very good t and a high
accessory equipment inclusion in the Propack
line. Besides the details, easy of assembly, the
mask, photo etch and the high quality Cartograf
decals, we are also trying out a side opening
box on this item. This is the rst time that we are
trying out this kind of boxing.
The second kit for August is the well known
quarter scale Tempest. For the longest time I was
against the re-release of this old warrior, but
when I see all the photo-etch and resin upgrade
items, as well as the refreshed plastic and the
Cartograf decals, I see this is still a nice kit. But
either way, this is really the last edition of the old
Eduard quarter scale Tempest. If we do end up
releasing the Tempest again, it will surely be a
new tooled kit.
The Brassin line offers a single set in August,
which is the early style cockpit interior for the
MiG-21MF. This is the only Brassin set this month,
but not the only MiG-21 accessory set for
August, as there are some MiG-21 items among
the photo-etched sets. All these new August items
will be available at our booth at the IPMS Nats
in Omaha, at least on the rst day of the show.
If you have a question, or if you want to see
our hottest releases in person, come stop by!
You will be welcome, as usual! Those that can´t
come to Omaha, just wait a couple of days to
see these new releases at your local shop. To
help alleviate any boredom in the meantime,
check out our Rabbit comics this month. They are
Hellcat themed....check them out, and check six!
