The most interesting to me is Eduard's 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 (Dora). Old Hasegawa's Fw 190D-9 1/72 scale kit was the first the model I've built and painted. Brush painted ;) I have also built Tamiya's 1/72 Fw 190D-9 in Papagei Staffel of JV44 markings (using brilliant EagleCals decals). I really like Dora's lines and design - it's slick yet agressive. So I'm really looking forward for this kit.
Here're Eduard 1/48 Fw 190 D-9 kit contents according to Eduard site:
Contents:
- 6 attractive Luftwaffe marking options
- Early flat and late bulged canopy (I guess it was also "Galland canopy")
- Color photo-etched details
- Express mask
- Machine gun hatch engineered for all know hatch variants
- Kit provides realistically engineered open landing wheel well roof with engine backside and other inner fuselage equipment inside
- 5./JG 301, Bad Langensalza, Germany, May 1945
- Oblt. Hans Dortenmann, IV./JG 26, 1945
- Stab/JG 4, Frankfurt am Rhein-Main, April 1945
- I./EKG(J) or V./EJG 2, Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, May 1945
- Stab/JG 6, Prag – Rusin, Czechoslovakia, May 1945
- Oblt. Hans Dortenmann, I./JG 26, Spring 1945
Other Eduard's plans are impressive as well. We'll see from World War 1 biplanes like Albatros D.III OEFAG to modern era fighters like Mig-21.
What is more interesting and surpise is that Eduard is entering resin seats market with their brand new line - Brassin. As far as I understand - those will details sets combining resin and photoetch stuff:
