It is a re-release A-8 with new decals, only Blue 13 is the same as in the original release....got a couple of Eduards 190's and yet to start one!
They do look real nice in the box though!

and what do you think about the quality of Eduard´s products compared to their competitors?
Amazing, how such a small Czech company can be successful in such a business...but I think the idea of specific decals and conversion kits made their name known...

I haven't built an Eduard kit yet, but everything I've seen of theirs, or read about, especially their series of FW190 kits, looks fantastic. I know their accessories are very well known and respected. Great work from a small company!

Lucky13 · 03-28-2009, 01:29 PM

Haven't built anyone of their kits as of yet, I have their Royal Class Fokker D.VII and Fw190A-8/R2, also have their Albatros D.III and D.V, Nieuport 17, Yak 1b and Fokker Dr1....all very tasty kits!

The kit looks very nice though some problems with fitting the fuselage-wing can appear.I have the weekend edition for the A-8 and A-5 version.
