  Dear Friends,

  welcome to this special edition of Info magazine,

  celebrating this year’s E

  -

  Day, marked by its

  21st event. This edition doesn’t aim to provide

  a comprehensive report of the event, but rather

  serves as a reminiscence for those who attended,

  a source of information for those who couldn’t,

  and a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in

  organizing and contributing to its success.

  I hope you enjoy reading this issue!

  Happy modeling,

  Vladimír Šulc

  The 21st E-day exhibition has successfully

  ended. Once again, it was held at the

  Tankodrom Milovice venue and attracted over

  3,000 visitors. Among them were nearly 500

  members of the Bunny Fighter Club, and the

  number of registered exhibiting modelers

  was close to the same figure. More than

  1,100 models and dioramas were entered into

  the Czech Model Masters competition, with

  hundreds more displayed in club and SIG

  (Special Interest Group) presentations.

  Several dozen Eduard staff members and

  their family members were involved in the

  preparation and organization of the event.

  However, the exhibition, as visitors know

  it, wouldn't have been possible without

  the significant contributions of volunteers.

  We would especially like to thank them for

  their efforts.

  I’ll start by mentioning Luboš Kuna and his

  IT team, who managed the online registration

  of models, handled the scoring process,

  prepared the results lists, and printed

  the diplomas. The last registrations were

  processed by this hardworking team on

  Saturday morning.

  Zbyněk Škopán was responsible for

  arranging the models in the exhibition space

  on the first floor and coordinating the scoring

  results leading up to the announcement of

  the winners.

  The Czech Model Masters competition could

  not have taken place without the judges.

  This year, 36 judges were nominated, with

  additional substitutes on standby. Jiří Fiala

  and Jiří Votápek oversaw the coordination

  of the judges, who were nominated from the

  following Czech and Slovak clubs: MK518

  Děčín, SR

  -

  Štefánikovo krídlo, KPM Brněnec,

  Veselí Lepiči, IPMS Nymburk, KPM Brumov-

  Bylnice, HKPM Prostějov, KPM Kadaň, KPM

  Žamberecký Divočák, KPM Litoměřice, SPL

  Liberec, KPM České Budějovice, KPM GT Cup,

  KPM Medvědi, KPM Jihlava, KPM Kaznějov,

  and Prosek Panthers.

  Somewhat away from the general hustle

  and bustle, and avoiding the crowd, were

  workshops presented by Zdeněk Šebesta,

  Miloslav Chladil, Jan Novotný, Marek Mrázek,

  and Daniel Jankovič.

  The heart of the E-day exhibition, however,

  was the area dedicated to discussions,

  presentations, and the announcement of

  results. We did receive some feedback

  from visitors regarding the sound system

  in the hall. While the acoustics of the space

  were challenging, I believe sound engineer

  Marek Nejez did a commendable job under

  the circumstances. Special thanks go to

  Jaroslav Háječek and Petr Švihovec for

  moderating the talks and announcing the

  results. Both approached the task with great

  energy and professionalism. Recordings of

  the presentations, talks, and workshops are

  now available on our YouTube channel, where

  international viewers can enable automatic

  subtitles in their preferred language.

  The overall winner of the Czech Model

  Masters was Petr Pospíšil with his 1/48

  scale Zlín Z-126 Trenér. He was awarded

  a special prize from Annetra and holds the

  competition’s traveling cup for one year.

  Additionally, thanks to Annetra, he is now the

  proud owner of a ZO-91 ultrasonic knife.

  No E-day would be complete without an

  aerial demonstration. This year, last-minute

  changes were made to the organization

  of the show, and we would like to extend

  our gratitude to Milan Mikulecký for

  demonstrating the historic Avia BH-5 aircraft.

  Tankodrom Milovice is a unique venue for

  a model exhibition. American modeler Johny

  Vojtěch, one of the guests in this year’s

  moderated talks, mentioned during his

  visit to last year's exhibition that it is the

  second most impressive venue for a model

  exhibition he’s ever seen. His top experience

  was setting up his booth beneath an

  SR-71 Blackbird at a U.S. show—a plane that

  certainly wouldn't fit in the Milovice museum

  hall!

  I hope that in the coming years, the E-day

  exhibition will continue to fit within the hall

  of the Tankodrom. Our heartfelt thanks go to

  the owners of the venue, who were incredibly

  helpful in preparing the space for vendors

  thanks to mobility of some their historical

  exhibits.
