SPA Modeler

Vladimir Sulc (Info Eduard January 2015-Editorial) wrote:(...) The rework is nearing completion. Aside from the overall dimensions of the kit, which was the base problem of the original, we also re-visited some other aspects of the kit. The wing to fuselage fairing has been modified to correspond with that most often seen on the G-6 variant. We redesigned the rear part of the fuselage behind the cockpit to address criticism levied against the fuselage outline at about the second former after the canopy. While we were at it, we modified the progression of the individual fuselage segments to better represent the appearance of the real thing. We did the same through to the front of the aircraft. We re-measured the whole thing,
systematically photographed it and, last but not least, we got down and dirty with it prior to redesigning the kit. None of this was a particularly simple affair, but the end result is more than interesting and I am certain that most modelers will be rather pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to releasing the information surrounding this updated effort, including details of the study of the real McCoy, via our now typical and sometimes controversial marketing campaign. There will be much to explain, the result will raise eyebrows, will be fresh and will be effective. Realistically, I expect to release this puppy in the fall, likely with an E-day premiere. (...)

Not yet. We'll know about it when they're going to release the revised version in the fall of this year.
