Eduard
Eduard is a Czech manufacturer of plastic model kits and precision model accessories, formed in 1989 in the city of Most. Founders Ctirad Kurak and Vladimír Šulc began by producing photo-etched brass parts in a basement workshop, and the venture grew so quickly that Eduard moved into dedicated production facilities within two years. The company branched into plastic model kits in 1993 and has since become one of the most respected names in scale modelling.
Eduard is best known for its aircraft kits, which span from World War I biplanes through to modern jet fighters in 1/32, 1/48, 1/72 and 1/144 scales. The company offers multiple product tiers to suit different skill levels: Weekend Edition provides straightforward, affordable builds; ProfiPACK includes photo-etched parts, masks and multiple decal options; and the premium Royal Class editions feature extensive extras for the serious collector. Eduard is equally renowned for its aftermarket photo-etched detail sets, which are available for kits from virtually every major manufacturer including Tamiya, Revell and Airfix. These sets add cockpit instruments, seatbelts, control surfaces and other fine details that take a model to the next level.
At Wonderland Models, we carry a selection of Eduard kits and accessories. Shop securely online for express shipping or visit our in-store experts in Edinburgh for personalised advice.

- Eduard Aircraft Kits
Eduard's plastic aircraft kit range covers subjects from World War I through to the modern era, with particular strength in WWII fighter aircraft. Iconic types such as the Spitfire, Bf 109, Fw 190, P-51 Mustang and many more are available in 1/48 and 1/72 scales, with selected subjects in the impressive 1/32 scale.
Kits are offered in several editions to suit different budgets and preferences. The Profipack edition includes photo-etched parts, canopy masks and multiple decal options for a complete, high-detail build straight from the box. The Weekend edition provides the same excellent plastic kit at a lower price, with a simpler decal sheet and no extras. The premium Royal Class and Limited Edition releases offer special subjects with extensive accessories for the most dedicated modellers.
- Eduard Photo-Etched Detail Sets
Eduard's photo-etched detail sets are the industry standard for aftermarket aircraft accessories. With over 800 individual sets in the catalogue, Eduard produces photoetch for its own kits and for models from virtually every other major manufacturer including Tamiya, Hasegawa, Airfix, Revell and many more.
These sets add cockpit detail, wheel bay structure, external antennae, control surface hinges, seatbelts and countless other fine details that transform a good model into an outstanding one. The parts are chemically etched from thin brass sheet with extraordinary precision.
- Eduard Brassin, Masks and Decals
The Brassin range provides resin replacement parts for aircraft kits, including engines, exhaust stacks, wheels, gun bays, ammunition belts and ordnance. These 3D-printed and cast resin components offer a significant upgrade in detail over the standard plastic parts.
Eduard also produces pre-cut canopy masks that make painting multi-frame canopies quick and precise, and a growing range of high-quality decal sheets with alternative markings for popular aircraft types.
