Eduard

Eduard makes plastic scale model kits and accessories for model builders, collectors and aviation enthusiasts. The company began in 1989 in the basement of co-owner Ctirad Kurak's house in Most, Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic. Its early work focused on photoetched parts for scale models. Today, its product range includes aircraft kits, resin accessories, masks, decals and other items used to add detail to model builds.

From Photoetched Parts to Model Kits

Eduard began when Ctirad Kurak and Vladimir Sulc started making photoetched parts for their own modelling projects.

They later decided to produce these parts for shops. In 1990, the company made its first photoetched product for sale, a 1:48 scale Su-25K set.

Photoetched parts remain an important part of the Eduard range. They are used alongside plastic model components to add small details.

Eduard also produces complete plastic kits, giving builders the choice between starting a new aircraft model and adding parts to an existing project.

ProfiPACK Kits for Detailed Builds

ProfiPACK is Eduard's standard plastic kit edition for moderately experienced builders.

Each ProfiPACK includes a complete plastic model kit with extra items for different aircraft subvariants. The package also includes photoetched sets, Eduard masks and a decal sheet.

The decal sheets provide four to six marking options, along with stencils. This allows builders to choose from different appearances for the aircraft they are modelling.

ProfiPACK kits are produced in 1:48, 1:72, 1:144 and 1:32 scales.

These kits suit builders who want to spend more time working on the smaller features of an aircraft model.

Weekend and Limited Edition Kits

Eduard also makes kits for different types of modelling projects.

The Weekend Edition is a simpler alternative to ProfiPACK. It includes injection-moulded plastic parts for building one specific aircraft variant.

These kits are aimed at beginners and people who prefer a shorter project. Builders can add separate accessory sets if they want more detail.

Limited Edition kits provide another option. Some contain plastic parts made by Eduard, while others use parts from different manufacturers.

Many Limited Edition releases come in Dual Combo packaging, with two complete kits. Some black-box releases have included three kits.

Accessories for Aircraft Modellers

Eduard produces accessories that can be used with scale plastic kits.

Its Brassin range includes resin and photoetched parts. The SPACE range combines 3D waterslide decals with STEEL photoetched components.

These products allow builders to work on details beyond those supplied in a basic plastic kit.

Eduard also maintains a schedule of new products, including new arrivals released for November 2026.

For pilots and aviation enthusiasts who enjoy aircraft modelling, Eduard provides several ways to build and detail aircraft kits. Its range supports both straightforward projects and builds involving additional parts, markings and finishing work.
