I've only a built a few Eduard kits since returning to the hobby in 2024. One thing I've figured out (yeah I am slow) is that they have the royal editions, the "Profipak" versions, I'd guess the non-specific (normal) ones, and the cheaper/simpler "weekend" versions. Much of the plastic is the same of course.
One thing I'd say is that Eduard plastic is hard/brittle compared to competitors, and they can lean to the fiddly side of things, not to the extend of Ryefield (RFM) or MiniArt, or Armored Fighting Vehicle Club (AFV), they do push the limits in my opinion. For this reason I chose the weekend/simple version, no resin, no PE, just a basic kit.
This is just the start of the build, it might take me months to finish, but that is because I'm easily distracted. I also chose a British/North Africa paint scheme. The kit came with a "Texas Longhorns" decal set which was my 1st thought (since I've lived in the Austin area since 1982) but I found that the livery was never flown in combat and the NA paint is just so much cooler!
