Today, we've launched a very special website - EduardAuctions.com. We had already informed you about this event in the latest Info Eduard (Issue 04/2012). The first and main purpose of this website will be focused exclusively on our latest Royal Class edition release - Bf 109E in 1/48th scale. By the time of writing this article, there are total 5 kits, which will be offered in auction throughout next 7 days. All 5 auctions begin today and each one ends on different day. The very last auction - Auction #0001 - will end on 24th of April, which is exactly in one week. We hope that yo

Some previous parts of our Bf 109E 1/48 Royal Class articles were focused on various bonuses like the Brassin wheels, metal thermo mug, or the ¼ scale Bf 109E instrument panel.

So what do you say? Beautiful, isn't she? We're looking forward to your insights and comments below this post or directly on our Facebook. Related products from Eduard Store

In the previous part of this article describing the Bf 109E Royal Class edition, I described the first bonus, which is the ¼ Bf 109 instrument panel kit. The second unique bonus of this Royal Class release is a coffee metal thermo cup. In recent time you should have been able to read some information about this item, but there are information not described properly yet. The basic element of the cup design is a line drawing of Bf 109E-1 in flying position. In aviators jargon should be told “from the 11th O’clock, slightly above“. This is the same artwork, like on the box cover, j

In the first part of this article describing the Bf 109E Royal Class edition, I described the box contents. Here, I will now describe the kit bonuses offered within, specifically the first of them, a 1/4 scale plastic instrument panel that was mounted in the ‘E’ versions of the Bf 109E. Most of you will recall the very first Eduard instrument panel that was produced to go with Royal Class No.R0005 (the Bf 110 in 1/48th).
