Nice, now you can paint your own roundels and the PE fills in some nice details.   :D

Good to know, thanks for posting this.
But as HGW produced all their PE sets at eduard's, eduard already did quite much for the steadily growing WNW community... As far as I would guess, eduard and HGW had made a deal not to get in competition to each other.

Both are working together, I have also HGW fabric seatbelts sold together with PE as a Eduard kit (in 1/48)

The real reason seems to be another one. Eduard mentioned in the July newsletter (released tday) the following:
"These sets are our reaction to a shift in the retail policy at WNW and we are hopeful this will not be the end of it."
How can WNW suppress another one to made additional parts for their kits? Copyright? Who producec the WNW PE, also Eduard?
What does such "retail policy" mean?

Cheers,
Frank

The "retail policy" is simply referring to WNW changing distribution and allowing sales through retail hobby outlets around the world.
