Our new Spitfire Mk.IXc late version in 48th scale is going to be released in ten days from now and today I'm here with a short report from the discussion I had with the Lead Designer of this new scale kit - Ladislav Jonas. Several days ago, I had a really nice talk with Ladislav about our new Spitfire and the research behind this new kit. Particularly, I was interested in his own opinions and experiences he had during the research and design process. Below you can find my questions and Ladislav's answers on this topic. Enjoy! Firstly, I would really like to know how much time

Eduard On Spitfire Research Trip In Canada

During summer 2009, several Eduard peeps visited museums in Canada, in order to further research some questionable areas of Spitfire Mk.IX aircraft  (and other versions too). They visited Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Canada Aviation And Space Museum in Ottawa, and other private museums. I'm bringing you few photos from this "trip" - mainly from inside of the museums, where Vladimir Sulc, Stanislav Archman and Ladislav Jonas carefully inspected several Spitfire machines. Without further due, here are the photos. Enjoy!

Additional Spitfire Mk.IXc Late Version Wing Modifications & Spitfire Contest #3

Maybe you're asking yourself, why are we showing you Spitfire wing details again, even though we had showed them already in post „-36“. It's because we would like to show you two changes that were recently made on the molding tool, to perfectly imitate Spitfire's Mk.IXc late version. First modification focuses on landing gear bay opening, while second one adds the base for IFF antennae under the right side of the wing - we're trying to make the best representation of this machine in every detail! Check out the photos and the mentioned areas below - click the photo to enlarge it.

Several days ago, we've made another test sprue of fuselage for the upcoming Spitfire Mk.IX 1/48. This was the official first test of tool #3 for our new Spitfire Mk. IX. Note this sprue contains fuselage that will be part of our first type release, the Mk.IXc late version. You can check out the previous test mold of wings by clicking here. On the pics below, pay attention mainly to surface lines, riveting style and other exterior details solutions. I'll leave you without any other comments on the photos, as I believe they speak for themselves. Perhaps you'd like to input your ow
