Eduard Releases New P-51B Kit With Malcolm Hood Canopy

New this month from Eduard is a 1/48 “Malcolm Hood” P-51B model kit in 1/48 scale.

The new “Weekend Edition” kit (84214) represents aircraft with the “Malcolm Hood” – a modified canopy fitted to some early P-51B/C Mustangs to improve the pilot’s rearward visibility. It replaced the original framed “razorback” canopy with a bulged, frameless sliding hood, giving a much better view to the sides and back.

It includes Eduard plastic parts and decals with marking options for four aircraft.

Eduard Releases New, Limited Edition PBY-5A Catalina

Eduard has released a new, limited edition PBY-5A Catalina in 1/48 scale.

The Catalinas in service with the USAAF were designated OA-10A.

Eduard Releases New “Weekend Edition” MiG-21F-13 Fishbed

New this month from Eduard is a “Weekend Edition” model kit of the MiG-21F-13 Fishbed in 1/48 scale.

The type was the first major production version of the Soviet MiG-21, a single-engine, supersonic day interceptor with a distinctive tailed-delta wing design that gave it strong speed and climb performance. Entering service in 1960, it was relatively compact, used the Tumansky R-11F-300 engine, and was armed with one 30 mm cannon plus early infrared air-to-air missiles, making it a simple but highly influential Cold War fighter.

The new offering (84213) includes Eduard plastic parts and decals with marking options for five aircraft.

Eduard Releases New ProfiPACK Edition Bf 110F Model Kit

Eduard has released a new ProfiPACK edition Bf 110F model kit in 1/72 scale.

The Bf 110F was a refined late-war version of the German Messerschmitt twin-engine heavy fighter, powered by more powerful DB 601F engines that improved performance, allowed extra armor, and supported its use in escort, strike, and night-fighter roles. Many pilots regarded it as the best-handling Bf 110 variant, though it still could not match the agility of single-engine fighters in daylight combat.

The kit (7084) includes Eduard plastic parts, pre-painted PE parts, painting masks and decals with marking options for five aircraft.

Eduard Announces Upcoming “Royal Class” Brassin Hybrid P-51B Model Kit

Set for release this summer is Eduard’s newly announced P-51B Mustang Royal Class Hybrid edition model kit in 1/32 scale.

The P-51B variant was a major upgrade of the North American Mustang, replacing the early Allison engine with the more powerful Packard-built Merlin and dramatically improving high-altitude speed, climb, and range. That made it one of the first truly effective long-range escort fighters for U.S. bombers over Europe, entering combat in late 1943 and helping shift air superiority in the Allies’ favor.

As of this writing, additional details on the kit have not been released, although the announcement was accompanied by a preview of the upcoming liveries, seen above.
