[20:11] <@Libor-Eduard> Hello Roy__ we're here :) You are free to ask Vladimir anything Spitfire-related
[20:11] <Waterlinrr> When do you expect the Spit kits to reach American distributors?
[20:11] <Papa> Roy, are you from Norway?
[20:11] <Vladimir_> Papa: possibly, but I suppose 2015 is more realistic :-)
[20:11] <Papa> Thank you for the answer Vladimir
[20:12] <Jean-Luc> The surface finish of the Spitfire is amazing, especially the rivets. Will all your forthcoming releases feature the same surface finish now…
[20:12] <Vladimir_> Jholt: It is simply first line fighter. We want to have all first line fighters in our potfolio. Step by step, of course!

[20:13] <Guest45420> and weekend edition will be available too?
[20:13] <Vladimir_> No problem guys with questions about non-Spitfire subjects!

[20:14] <Vladimir_> Tom: there will be many various sets for Spit. Cockpit, wheels, engine, weapon bay, exhaust.

[20:15] <Vladimir_> Watelinrr: depends on them. We will ready to dispatch the kits to US distributors on March 25, so they can receive them close after 1st April
[20:15] <Waterlinrr> What is your connection with Revell's? The Ju 52 is your 1/144 kit  and yet is available as a Revell kit
[20:16] <Vladimir_> Jean-Luc: yes. it has to be our standard, even for 1/72
[20:16] <jonbius> Vladimir, one area that many Spitfire kits require a little work is the area of the lower wing to lower fuselage join. How does the Eduard Spitfire fit in that area?
[20:16] <Guest45420> ok, what about some rumours from modelwen.cz about BF-109G? @IMPS.de he is listed as new tooling?
[20:16] <Waterlinrr> Thanks for the up date on us supplies
[20:16] <Vladimir_> Papa: I will be in Oslo port on Friday morning :-)
[20:17] <Vladimir_> Weterlinrr: we suply them
[20:17] <Guest80211> is the profipack edition going to come with more than the usual stuff or are there going to be other intresting bits inside? I would like to see microtextile seatbelts.
[20:17] <Vladimir_> jonbius: ours fits perfectly :-)
[20:18] <Vladimir_> Gueast45420: correct info!

[20:19] <Tom___> Thanks Vladimir, I think we can all agree that there is serious lack of 1/48 RAF support equipment, can we expect something like potrable generator, oxygen cart etc..in your Brassin line

[20:22] <Guest45420> great news about bf-109G. If I may antoher Luftwaffe subject: I remeber from one of Yours mothtly infos, that is no chance for Ta-152. That's true?
[20:23] <Bo> are you going to do the 1/48 BF 109 F/G/K?
[20:25] <Vladimir_> Tom: good idea. But right now we have no plan to release some of these.
[20:25] <Jean-Luc> Yes, more brassin ground equipment!

[20:26] <Jean-Luc> How many Spitfire kits will Eduard produce for the first run of the kit. Have you already started?
[20:26] == no has changed nick to Guest98915
[20:26] <Vladimir_> Bo: yes, including S-199
[20:26] <Guest45420> ... and earlier Spit. variants too? Mk. I ->Mk. V etc. ?

[20:28] <Vladimir_> Jean-Luc: what we have ready right now is F.Mk.IXc (early production), FF/HF.Mk.IXc (late production) and Mk.IXe. Mk.VIII will be most probably the next, then Mk.Vc, Mk.Vb, Mk.I...and then, it is too too far :-)
[20:29] <Tom___> This is more of a generic question, do you plan on issuing any more kits in Dual Combo form, its been ages since last one..

[20:30] <Bo> Vladimir... may I may a few a suggestion for som Brassin weapons..... the American CBU SUU 30 A/B, British 1000 lbs "dumb"bombs, french matra magic 550, these are NOT mad by any other aftermarket firm and they are in very short suply
[20:30] <Bo> all in 1/48
[20:30] <Waterlinrr> Hope you can do this more often, it's only 2:30 pm here in Michigan.  There are so many questions to seek answers to
[20:31] <eranreches> Will there be a special spitfire only for BFC members?
[20:32] <Guest80211> can we expect goodies like brassin or microtextile belts in the profipack edition of the spit?
[20:32] <jonbius> eranreches: I was thinking the same thing!
[20:33] <@Libor-Eduard> Special Spitfire BFC kit? Well, we'll surely consider that guys!
[20:33] <Vladimir_> Tom: surely yes
[20:34] <Vladimir_> Bo: hmm, these are not in our plans yet!
[20:34] <Vladimir_> eranreches: possibly Mk.XI, in far future of course.
[20:35] <Vladimir_> Guest80211: not in Profipack, but in Royal Class and also separate.
[20:35] <Waterlinrr> A 1/72 Spit maybe?
[20:35] <eranreches> Vladimir - sounds good!
[20:36] <Bo> Vladimir...I know, but please consider them, they are in great demand
[20:36] <Vladimir_> Waterlinrr: far future. But yes, we will continue with 1/72, but Fw 190s will be first.
[20:36] <Jean-Luc> Why having molded parts of the gun barrels cover with the wings. This will produce a seam. Why no extra parts?
[20:36] <Waterlinrr> i can live with that
[20:37] <Guest45420> och, fw-190 family @ 1/72 ? That's really great news. This year maybe?
[20:37] <Tom___> Thank you, as a BFC member i think it would be nice to know what you plan on offering us at least several months in advance, can you state June-October offerings...
[20:38] <honza__> zdravim, nevim jestli uz to zde neprobehlo, bude ke spitu tez pristrojova deska 1/4? diky
[20:38] <Bo> Vladimir, how many decal option will the Mk IX profi have?
[20:38] <eranreches> Will you produce some modern aircrafts maybe (not rebox)?
[20:39] <sabaka> Honzo, je separátní CZ místnost (http://www.eduard.com/cs/spitfire-mk-ixc-late-148-live-chat/) JanZ/EDU
[20:40] <Vladimir_> Jean-Luc: I don´t understant
[20:41] <Vladimir_> Gueast45420: no. Next year.
[20:41] <Guest80211> does the spit kit utiltse any revolutionary ways of building certain components of the aircraft, like the cockpit?
[20:41] <Vladimir_> eranreches: just other versions of the MiG-21 in closest future. PF, PFM, R
[20:42] <Guest80211> in 1/48 revolutionary of course
[20:42] <Vladimir_> Guest80211: I suppose yes. Many.
[20:43] <eranreches> Another question - Will you consider making more models with E-Bunny decals like the BFC mig?
[20:44] <KL_> hopefully nobody will rant on ARC if you do ;)
[20:44] <Guest80211> these will be revealed in the site I supose?
[20:44] <Papa> Vladimir, is it true that J in bunny drawings stands for Jennings?
[20:45] <Vladimir_> eranreches: probably yes. It has quite possitive feedback, except the two guys on ARC, of course :-)
[20:46] <@Libor-Eduard> Check out our new March products after the chat, released just two days ago! Visit: http://www.eduard.com/s/4r
[20:46] <KL_> at least there were 3 pages of responses making fun of those two guys on ARC
[20:46] <Vladimir_> Papa: no, it is one Czech guy :-) But wery similar personality, I guess
[20:47] <Tom___> A question related to for those
[20:47] <Tom___> going to Moson
[20:48] <@Libor-Eduard> FYI the mentioned ARC forum E-Bunny  discussion can be found here: http://www.eduard.com/s/4s
[20:48] <tim> Do you see the chance of doing a PR version in the future?
[20:49] <Papa> Libor, are you aware of the brassin wheel discussion in prop forum a while back?
[20:49] <Tom___> Will you enable pre-orders for this years Moson Makett Show, last year was a true mess,plus please take enough Spitfires....thamk you
[20:50] <Vladimir_> Tom: of course. We will open pre order page for Moson this year, concerning Spits, we will have many!
[20:50] <Tom___> Thank you
[20:51] <Vladimir_> tim: answer higher, yes, we will
[20:51] <KL_> yes to the PR version?
[20:51] <Vladimir_> KL: yes
[20:51] <KL_> excellent
[20:52] <@Libor-Eduard> Papa: Not aware, could you provide me with a link?
[20:52] <@Libor-Eduard> March Info Eduard will be released during next week. Watch our websites closely: http://www.eduard.com/info-eduard/
[20:52] <Jean-Luc> Have you used slide molds in the spitfire kit for some parts. If yes, for what parts?
[20:53] <tim> That sounds good! I was also wondering if the thinking was there to do a "How to" book do it as a folder which you could add pages too?
[20:53] <Tom___> Do you plan Bronze U/C legs for Mk.IX...
[20:53] <eranreches> Technical question - Will you consider to low the shipping charges on your site to countries in Asia?
[20:54] <Papa> Libor, here is the link: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=260897&st=0&p=2474050&hl=brassin&fromsearch=1&#entry2474050
[20:55] <tim> So, that a kind of update could be offered along side the kits, with photos drawings & tips on the back of each release?
[20:55] == Dan_ has changed nick to Guest26777
[20:56] <Vladimir_> Jean-Luc: yes, for exhaust.
[20:56] <Vladimir_> Tom: yes
[20:57] <Vladimir_> eranreches: it´s problem. It is not too much in our hands.
[20:57] <Vladimir_> tim: no
[20:58] <@Libor-Eduard> papa: thanks! We'll look into it ;)
[20:59] <Bo> Vladimir.... how about Seafire?
[20:59] <tim> Have you plans to release any decal sheets for the Spitfire?
[20:59] <Vladimir_> tim: there is so many pictures, books etc aroun Spits...
[20:59] <Vladimir_> Bo: not actually. Maybe far far latter
[20:59] <petarvu_> Is it possible to ask something not related to spitfire
[21:00] <Papa> Petarvu, eduard said they will do 1/48 Su-47
[21:00] <tim> Fair enough scope to do do somes
[21:00] <petarvu_> is it a joke or a throuth
[21:00] <Vladimir_> tim: no. Not right now, we can change our mind, of course.
[21:00] <Vladimir_> petarvu: yes
[21:00] <Papa> Sorry Petarvu, i just had to. It is a joke. This is Berkut btw ;)
[21:01] <Tom___> Vladimir, you mentioned possible Phantom  family, any progress on that subject...
[21:01] <petarvu_> hello berkut >-))))))
[21:01] <Vladimir_> Tom: no, it is sleaping. we asked Academy to supply us their B
[21:01] <tim> How about some ground equipment?
[21:02] <petarvu_> How about Mi-24 1/48
[21:02] <Tom___> Thank you, any plans on enlarging Mig-15 into 1/48....
[21:03] <Vladimir_> petarvu: that´s my dream!
[21:03] <Vladimir_> Tom: possible. But right now we concentrate our effort to 1/72, of course.
[21:04] <Vladimir_> tim: no, not right now.
[21:04] <petarvu_> Than there is hope! Thanks!
[21:04] <eranreches> What about more 1/4 instrument panel models?
[21:05] <Jean-Luc> You will do a Brassin engine for the Spitfire IX. For what other Brassin items has the kit been designed for?
[21:06] <petarvu_> This chat idea is great, my congrats!
[21:07] <@Libor-Eduard> petarvu_: thanks! We're doing best what we can to be able to hang out with you guys. So it's pleasure for us too!
[21:07] <eranreches> you need to do it more often :-)
[21:08] <Vladimir_> eranreches: no. We haven´t enough design capacity
[21:08] <@Libor-Eduard> In case you have no more questions for Vladimir, we'll be leaving the chat in few moments. Please use this opportunity and submit your question now.
[21:09] <Tom___> Thank you, any plans on issuing F6F-3K/5K-Drones in 1/48....
[21:09] <Jean-Luc> Fw190, Hellcat, Bf109, Spitfire… why not a P-51 next… ;-)
[21:09] <Vladimir_> Jean-Luc: cockpit, wheels, weapon bay, exhaust, radio compartment, landing flaps.
[21:09] <Papa> Libor, i just hope future versions of Spitfire will have russian markings
[21:09] <Vladimir_> Tom: yes
[21:10] <Tom___> Thank you, and hope we can do this more often...Regards
[21:10] <eranreches> vladimir: F6F-3k/5k for BFC only?
[21:10] <Vladimir_> Papa: one will be in Royal Class, some guard unit with red bold on fuselage side, LF.Mk.IXe wih clipped wing.
[21:10] <Vladimir_> eranchers: not yet decided
[21:11] <eranreches> in 1/48
[21:11] <Papa> Ah, is there any chance for non royal class to have a russian marking?
[21:12] <KL_> papa you commie bastard ;)
[21:13] <Papa> That is how i spread the word of the one true way :)
[21:14] <Vladimir_> Papa: hmm...frankly speaking, very, very very small. But there is always a chance...:-)
[21:14] <Papa> Thank you
[21:15] <Papa> Maybe i will say hi next weekend, i will be in the area of the show. Hope you will enjoy it. Pro tip: Dont drink norwegian beer.
[21:15] <@Libor-Eduard> In case you don't have our Spitfire Mk.IXc blueprints, you can grab them for FREE here: http://www.eduard.com/spitfire/
[21:15] <KL_> I got the blueprints, they are very nice (thanks!)
[21:16] <@Libor-Eduard> KL_ thank you for downloading them! You can expect more goodies to come, right into your email :)
[21:16] <Jean-Luc> Got them too, nice idea indeed...
[21:16] <KL_> looking forward to them Libor
[21:16] <PhCano> Hello, Can we hope to have the famous barrels of brew beers in the Brassin range, or, with the royal class edition ?
[21:16] <Tom___> Vladimir, no matter when, but do not forget Tempest Mk.V in 1/48...
[21:16] <Vladimir_> Papa: because the price? :-)
[21:16] <KL_> yeah 1 beer in Norway costs about as much as your Spitfire will cost :D
[21:17] <Papa> That too. It is mindboggeling expensive, and drinking it is about as nice as being waterboarded.
[21:17] <KL_> need a mortgage to go drinking
[21:17] <Papa> Bush might disagree with my statement :)
[21:18] <tim> Will a box of Euro Spits be considered Norway ,Belgium Holland Italy etc?
[21:18] <Vladimir_> Papa & KL: I don´t need so much beer.
[21:18] <Vladimir_> tim: no plans
[21:18] <KL_> if they don't do that I doubt you'll have a problem finding any decals for all of those Tim
[21:19] <Vladimir_> Vladimir: it seems there will be one Norwegian E in RC
[21:19] <Guest80211>  is a resin cockpit coming our way?
[21:20] <@Libor-Eduard> We'll be leaving in few moments from now. Thanks for   being with us guys, your attention is appreciated.
[21:20] <tim> True but how about an additional Royal type release with an F-16 & Spitfire
[21:20] <KL_> thanks for answering our questions guys, more companies should do this
[21:20] <Vladimir_> Gueast80211: yes, most probably in April together with the kit
[21:21] <Vladimir_> tim: no, it is a different concept
[21:21] <Guest80211> what about pilot figures?
[21:22] <PhCano> I was talking of the Spitfire flying with two beers barrels...
[21:22] <Jean-Luc> Thanks to you!
[21:23] <KL_> he means this one http://bestetotnutoe.nl/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/spitfire-beer-3.jpg
[21:23] <Vladimir_> Guest80211: maybe we will re-release these what we have
[21:23] <tim> Ok I know that at least I can look forward to a PR version. This chat idea has been great I'm looking forward to the next magazine.
[21:24] <Papa> Is there any plans of doing some of the boxarts as prints?
[21:24] <Vladimir_> PhCano: yes, and there will be beer barels in Royal Class kit!
[21:24] <Vladimir_> Papa: no
[21:24] <KL_> na zdraví!
[21:25] <Papa> Ah, shame. Would love to have MiG-21SMT one :)
