SCALE AVIATION MODELLER INTERNATIONAL
EDITORIAL
A
s this issue hits the shelves
in the UK I will be in Prague
attending the annual E Day
model show. This has been a
regular date in my diary for the
last 8 years and I would still
attend even if I were not
representing the magazine.
I make no secret that I love the Czech Republic, a
nation that treats Ice Hockey equal to football and
you can buy good quality beer in McDonalds! And
who can not admire a nation where health and
safety takes a back seat, honestly where else can
you have a national competition in a
shopping centre’s underground car park?
But it is the modelling that draws me
back each year, the models on the tables
are always to a very high standard and I
am constantly amazed by the number of
companies that come from this country
and display at the show.
Eduard, Aires, HPH, Fly, Brengun, KP
,
AZ, Special Hobby, Mark One, RS all of
these producing kits that can rival anything produced
in the rest of the world. But unlike many other
companies who will not rest till they have produced
every 109 variant possible, the Czechs are not afraid
to produce things that are a bit off the beaten track.
As examples, a 1/32 Westland Wessex and 1/48
scale XB-70 Valkyrie are both due to be available at
E Day. Honestly, can you see anyone in the Far East
producing either of them in any scale?
Then you have the aftermarket companies Aires
Group, CMK, Eduard, Boa, Plus Model, Extratech, Q-
M-C, and Marabau, producing brass, resin and
decals in quantity. And normally only weeks after a
new kit hits the model shop shelves we see new sets
appearing.
What makes this all the more amazing to me is
that the population of the Czech republic is 10
million compared to the UK’s 64 million!
So if you ever have the chance make the
pilgrimage to this modelling Mecca

I strongly urge you to give it a try. And if
you need help on getting to E Day on the SAMI portal
we have a video showing you a step-by-step guide
on how to get to the venue from the centre of
Prague. And in due course we will have a video from
this year's show to add to the one on the portal from
last year.
Also in the next issue we will share all the news
and gossip from the show, so until next time enjoy
this issue of your magazine.
