New Eduard SSW DIII

Thanks Bud and Des (and Terri for the pics).  I'm a WWI newbie and am enjoying this forum!

Your welcome guy's

Thanks for leading the charge on your SSW DIII, Terri!  I've no doubt that your commitment to detailing and building the original release was the karmic trigger that caused Eduard to tool up a new one; that's how the strings of the modeling universe work. I've taken credit for a few new releases myself; the Eduard Sopwith Camel (finally released about 2 months after I finished my Blue Max kit) and the Hasegawa 1/32nd Fw190A-8 (announced just three weeks after I finished the Rutman kit)

This I can't take credit for . It was the whole spirit of the modeling community , which set the karma in motion

wow, seriously wow. the detail looks on par with modern technology. the rib tapes specifically i think will look nice under some aviattic lozenge. exciting times we live in. i wonder what the next 3 are ? they said they would release one great war subject per anniversary year.

Is this Eduard re-entering the world of WWI a/c modeling?  What a great looking model!  The 1/48 Modeler/entusiast must be quite pleased with this release.

Thanks Terri

can't wait for it, I was ready to order it in July and was dissapinteed that they posponed it, but it looks excellent and well I can wait, not like there isnothing to build

You are most welcome guy's . I know a lot of us have been waiting over a year now for this release , not much longer .....

Does look like it will have some very impressive scheme !

i hope those who have an old eduard ssw d.iii in good shape were able to sell them. they used to go for good money when there was no other im 1/48 version now the market will plummet on the outdated version

The picture Teri posted on the 10th is from the IPMS Convention and looks 99-1/2% ready for release.  WNW has certainly raised the bar for all the other mfgs, I think this will be Eduard's Best Kit yet !

Hi Terri,
I received yesterday the monthly new releases email from Eduard. It adds that for a preliminary listing of the upcoming November releases, go to the Eduard store and scroll down the left sidebar, where you'll find the downloadable list as a pdf. Unfortunately, it provides no further detail than I gave.

The only question in my mind is how can match your build of the original release!!

Best wishes

found this link, not much new to look at with parts but it shows instructions and decal options.

i found a pdf and it says there will be a set of fabric seatbelts available as well as that resin/brassin engine and spandaus. looks like they are accessorizing well for this release. i remember them saying a ssw d.iv too a while back. so is that a diff kit or did they drop that idea?

[coyotemagic]

Excellent find, Scott!  Very cool stuff.  Looks to be an outstanding kit.  Thanks for posting.  With regard to the D.IV, that one may be released at a later date, but even if it isn't, I think we both have the Koster kit and we can easily use those wings and struts to do a simple conversion.  The Koster resin wings are pretty nice and won't look too out of place on the Eduard fuselage.
Cheers,
Bud
