Eduard
Czech company Eduard produces high-quality styrene kits, cast and 3D-printed resin accessories, photo-etched metal details and standard/3D decals. The kits come in ProfiPACK and Dual Combo limited-edition forms, as well as standard and Weekend Edition versions. ProfiPACK and Dual Combo items come with extra accessories and tape masks. Highlights from this firm are its 1/48 P-51D Mustang and MiG-21 series kits.
ANTI-BIRD PROTECTION
Designed to combat the American-designed MIM-23 Hawk missile, the Soviet SPS-141 electronic countermeasures pod is the subject of Eduard’s Brassin set, intended for its 1/72 MiG-21 kits.
ANTI-TANK MUNITIONS
Although they appear similar to conventional explosive munitions, Eduard’s 1/72 Brassin fittings depict the BL755 cluster bombs developed by Hunting Aircraft and used by the RAF between 1972-2008.
AUXILIARY ADDITIONS
Intended to replace the styrene representations of the external fuel tanks supplied with its 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G kits, Eduard has released this Brassin set, containing two distinct fittings.
ELECTRONIC WARFARE PROTECTION
Eduard’s 1/72 AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) pod is suitable for a range of US Air Force types and is a simple addition, comprising just a single cast component.
'PONY' PIPES
Here’s a simple but effective upgrade for Revell’s recent 1/32 P-51D Mustang, in the form of Eduard’s Brassin exhaust outlets.
MIRAGE MISSILES
French aircraft armaments are garnering attention from aftermarket accessory producers, such as this pair of Matra R.530 air-to-air weapons from Eduard's Brassin range.
SECOND-GEN RATTLESNAKES
Following sweeping reviews of air-to-air missile usage in the late 1960s, the US Navy introduced improved versions of the standard AIM-9 Sidewinder, and the resulting AIM-9G/H versions are the subject of Eduard's Brassin set.
TARGET DISPATCHED
Eduard has added a set of eight 1/72 AGM-114 Hellfire Air-Ground Missiles to its Brassin range, complete with a set of hardpoints capable of carrying four weapons each.
'FRIEDRICH' FEATHERS
This set of landing flaps from Eduard's Brassin range is designed to replace the styrene representation of the trailing edge parts on the firm's 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109F kits.
SPIT' 'BONNET'
While Eduard's 1/48 Spitfires are superb, one aspect that can be challenging is constructing the two-part upper engine cowling without an unsightly seam - hence this one piece-section, intended to replace that sub-assembly on the firm's Mk.XVI kits is an ideal solution.
