I just received an e-mail today from Ladislav Estok, the webmaster for Eduard, about the projected release date for their Hetzer kits. He said they won't be ready until August 2005. The Eduard website is at:

sometimes its desighned to be opened up, like Academys Tiger
but some are only seen through hatch openings
some peaple show the interier of in dioramas where theres work carried out on the model, like, servicing the gun so the top is opened up or the turrets lifted of the body with a crain

the M3 Honey has big hatches so its easy to see inside

This may be a stupid question, but here goes. When you build a kit with an interior, do you build it so you can remove the hull to see the interior or close it up and just see what you can through the hatch opennings? I picked up the Academy M-3 Honey w/interior on sale and didn't really think about it till I got the kit.

Exactly! If registration for the Royal Class is supposed to happen three months before market release - and there has been no action yet - we're looking at least until March 05 and probably later...

Info on the new Eduard 1.35th Hetzer
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 10:51 AM
This is what Eduard are going to do with there hetzer, this info is straght from Eduard from a Newsletter

1/35
Jagdpanzer Hetzer was chosen as our first 1/35th scale kit. We had a couple of reasons to decide for this subject. First, we guess the really good Hetzer is missing on the market. The second reason is, that we want have a complete equipped kit, with interior and engine inside. Hetzer was a good choice, as this is an original Czech tank, and we have a of original documentation. Many Hetzers are in museums around, so that we had a good chance to check everything, what should be unclear during the design process. So now we are sure we have correct, exact and well detailed kit. We expect to release the first Hetzer in early Autumn, in two basic versions – early and late, with ProfiPACK for both of them. The difference will be that the standard kit will be released without interior and engine detail, and the ProfiPACK will contains the complete interior, engine, and more photoetched parts as well as the metal gun barrel. Also, the limited 1000 of the ROYAL CLASS Hetzers will be available shortly before the standard marked version will be released. The ROYAL CLASS will contain all parts for both versions, large photoetched set, some extra accessories and an extra art. This kit will be released in strictly limited edition, each one with own serial number. The orders for ROYAL CLASS kits will be registered three months before kit release.
