I saw the young woman with aftermarket resin boobs yesterday. The Spitfire one is an inspired dig at Eduard's critics. Well done Eduard. That really told the rivet counters and put them firmly in their place. Such biting intelligent satire. Must have cost a fortune hiring the best advertising company money could buy Wait what.... you came up with these videos in house?! Maybe you should stop making plastic kits and go into advertising full time. Just remember to get the length of your videos right and you'll be fine. |

Great entrepreneurs, like Mr Sulc, know how to squeeze quality from every angle. I've worked with many small businesses and their CEOs (typically in their 20s) have a strong grasp on the big picture for their products. How they all fit together and can meet client needs; to include the best marketing pitches. Some can be quite impressive. Their advertising budgets are tiny by comparison to the big-uns, but then so again is their market. They could be (and sometimes are) their own marketing VP. After just a few years, we all relate that bunny to Eduard. Great branding. Tim |

I was being sarcastic. The adverts are dreadful. The guy might be a great entrepreneur but he looks to me to be as affable as a honey badger with piles. It's also hilarious to see sex being associated with tiny plastic aeroplanes. But I'll leave that one for the Psychoanalysts to discus. ps I always wondered why a bunny was chosen. After the "babe" in the bath it was clearly borrowed from Playboy |

I think it's genius. May not appeal to our western sensibilities, but in terms of branding, getting people to buzz about the brand, it works. Of course, it helps incredibly well that he has a great product. At a decent price. I'm sure I'd be quite loud in questioning the bunny and babes, whisky glasses and bits of metal if it was with a useless set of sprues. Tim |

I, like my son, actually prefer the old logo with the knight. FWIW, the guy who draws the bunny for them is a friend of mine on FB. Warren |

There was another video I saw last week but can't remember where, oh yeah it was on (dare I say it.... Facebook), ... I have to say (and my wife confirms, so it's legit) these adverts are f**cking awful and crass. |

The latest news is that Eduard have been made an offer by Trump. Which gives the advertising campaign a great deal of credibility. "Grab 'em by the Bunny" is to be the new company's tagline. |

Yea! nice one. I'm waiting for the Friday Night Edition Boxset of the new Spitfire XVI, it comes with a voucher for the local brothel, a mask to hide your face and a resin dildo to empower your manhood. Enough said, I will no longer post anymore sexual orientated posts on the forum, this is just my morning exasperation at a company who do provide good (and bad product) going back 40 years with its marketing to a patriarchal form that should be left behind. |

Exasperation shared. I'm buying these products *despite* the tawdry motif. Eduard's product line as a whole is indispensable if you are looking for particular sots of detail in 1/72. Others provide high quality resin, or PE, or masks, but more often than not, you've got to go to these guys to get what you want for a specific project, since their range is so broad. As for their complete kits, one must watch of the One Big Error. Happily, these usually occur in the 1/48 renditions, and by the time they scale down to 1/72, the kits are good renditions. And Sulc? He sort of illustrates the problem with a lot of entrepreneurs who have a public face--his PR profile is, shall we say, ego-forward? 'Honey badger with piles' is an interesting characterization, and the problem is, he brings this on himself whenever the One Big Error happens, despite the fact that Eduard then engineers a fix. His public persona must not have affected their bottom line much, because it keeps happening. |

I suspect that some of this is cultural. A lot of advertising doesn't translate well into what we are use to in America. Take a look at some Japanese advertising for an extreme example of this. As long as they make stuff I want I won't be judging their advertising too harshly. |
