Info Eduard - October 2010

E-day is over, including
the usual comments about
the smell of the garage
and not enough cultural
space. After 10 years (yes,
we have had our 10th
anniversary show of E-day)
I have decided to refuse to discuss such
matters. I sometimes wonder if these
guys bitching about the smell of exhaust
were actually in the vicinity. Actually,
the space used by E-day is well ventilated,
and this year it was pretty well chilled,
I would say to the US standard. For next
year, we would like to bring some changes
to E-day, including change of date. The
reason is, that we are on a collision course
with other shows in the Czech Republic
and Central Europe in general. The new
date is yet to be decided, but what is for certain is that we
will continue on!
We have a traditional discussion at E-day shows,
known as ‘the Pot’. It is a valuable occasion for me,
not only for the given questions, but also for the not
given questions. When nobody asks me about the raster
of the painted photoetch, I can deduce that modelers
nd the topical quality of the color
sets acceptable. Also, there was a big
discussion about the possible re-edition
of the Tempest. This is not probable,
the Tempest is already an old kit with old
tools, and we don´t plan to release this kit
again. I can only recommend all interested
to buy this kit whenever they are available,
before they are sold out, at which point
it will be much more expensive to get
them! Especially the Limited Edition kits
are released in very limited editions,
and who wants to get their hands
on them must be fast and should not hesitate.
Quarter scale Su-22M-4 is a good example
of such a fast seller, I´m sure we will have
zero stock by early November. Maybe you
can convince us to release this kit again,
but I doubt it will be possible!
I saw couple of very nice reviews
of the OEFFAG which makes me happy.
The only thing that confused me, when
Windsock commented the wing surface
as made in WN style. Sorry Ray, but this
is Eduard style! We were rst who had
such netting on the wing and tail surfaces,
and we developed it ourselves. The rst kit
with such surface was 1/72nd scale SPAD
XIII in 2007, followed by the Avia B-534
a couple of months later. Coincidentally, we will re-
release the SPAD in November, the Avia was re-
released in September, and the main October release
is a quarter scale OEFFAG series 153. Compared with
the previous 253, we improved on some not so perfect
details, such as the seat, which was without perforations,
