The one I have looked brilliant in the box, nice clean detail, no flash, but as I have found out before, that means nothing. The twin Pioneer I built comes to mind.

Gondor's Modelling Rule Number Three applies to a lot of kits. Everything will fit perfectly until you apply glue...

Looking at scale mates, eduard MiG 15's started back in 2013 as a new mold. I do remember that very early eduard kits were based on other companies molds, usually with a detail set of conversion parts added by eduard. I have their Spitfire 21 which uses the Airkit Spitfire kit with etch and resin parts by eduard.

The Eduard Spitfire F21 is the Aeroteam limited run injection kit (dated 1997 - I bought one from Hannants at the last Nationals at Donnington), which itself is a copy of the CMR 1996 resin Spitfire F21.  It was released in 1998, as I bought a pair from Hannants at Telford that year.

The Airkit Spitfire F21 is an entirely different resin kit and was long out of production when the Aeroteam one was released.

Thanks for the correction Lee, I wasn't sure that I had the info correct.
