bit too hectic for us, and we decided to revert

back to the two, respectively three, day model.

We decided to improve on the Czech national

holiday on the 28th of September, and open

the convention on Thursday, September 27 in

the late afternoon, with the main day of the

convention being Friday September 28th. The

convention then ends on Saturday, September

29th, at 3 p.m.. Actually, it takes its inspiration

for this timing from the US convention, E-day is

just one day shorter. I am anxious to see how

this new timing format will work in the middle

of Europe. Besides the timing, we will also

revamp the organization of the Eduard booth,

and also the organization of the interaction with

all visitors, our customers, our fans, and those

of you who are simply interested enough to

come on by. The idea is that competent people,

who understand our design and manufacturing

processes, as well as marketing operations, will

answer your question immediately in the booth

area. It doesn´t mean that the traditional kettle

of discussion will be cancelled – of course not. It,

too, will be improved with a better location and

improved sound. E-day will be simply great, and

there is still no mention of the entry kit! I will not

tell you which kit the entry kit will be, but I can

hint, can’t I? – so, it will be small, but nevertheless

a great, scaled down quarter scale kit planned

for the second quarter of 2013, which will be

introduced at E-day, too. Well, I hope that helps

:-)

A very important change is expected with our

web site. There will be some smaller improvement

after the new year, but I expect a more general

and very signiicant change later this year. I still

don´t know the complete extent of the change,

but I´m sure it will bring great feedback!

So, enough small talk. I know most inertest

centres around our future plans, and so here they

are! Have a great New Year, and all the best in

2012, and work hard – remember, the end of

the world is coming, and you only have a few

more months to get rich and enjoy your money!

Keep on Modelin’!

As suspected...the new year is upon us! I was

sure this time last year that it would be, and

in quick order, too. With it comes the almost

obligatory looking back, which I am not so sure

is always a good idea. But, here it is. 2011

sure had its downs, with combinations of natural

disasters, political turbulence and economic

instability. Many things point towards a justiied

pessimism, but there have been things to report

on that push 2011 into being a sort of a catalyst

for good things to come in our hobby. Certainly,

our MiG-21MF and SMT brought a ray of

sunshine into many modelers’ lives, and in two

scales to boot. The 1/72nd scale Hellcat is up

there in terms of quality in that scale, and points

to good things yet to come in the near future. I

am happy to report that we will be ringing in

new kits in the two smaller scales. What was not

released as hoped and predicted last January,

will be released in very short order with our Bf

109E in 48th scale in February, the Bf 110E

in 72nd scale in the summer, some small scale

surprises in September for E-day, and a big shot

of good stuff next Christmas.... assuming there is

a Christmas next year.....

You can ind more about our expected

products in this newsletter, but what is also

important to know, is how to contact us. So,

irst, try our web site, which has developed into

the best source for learning of our ideas and

activities. Then, you can meet us personally

at many fairs and shows. First, we will be at

Nurnberg like every year, and the irst model

convention we visit will be Panthers Cup in Prosek

in Prague in March. Then, we traditionally attend

Mosonmagyarovar in Hungary in April. We

can´t miss the IPMS Nationals in August, and

we close out the tour year in September with

our E-day. E-day 2011 was a very nice event,

although it was held one day only. We found

the one day format too short, certainly a little

This most probably represents the top of our January kit releases.

The original is the Academy kit, upgraded by Academy just a month

ago. The Academy upgrade was the main reason for the move of

this release to January. Eduard adds a BRASSIN cockpit interi-

or including seat and front landing gear fender, large color

photo-etched set, canopy mask sheet and large decal

sheet printed by Cartograf. The kit seems to be quite

expensive, but it brings great value for such a high pri-

ce in terms of the base kit (not cheap in its own right),

the resin, the photoetched and the decals. Remember

1500 pcs only will be released, and it is expected that

this will be one of those fast sellers. Poof! Gone. Frank-

ly speaking, I am not expecting a chance for a second

run, so plan your orders carefully.
