捷克军模厂商。成立于1989年
Eduard Model Accessories was formed in 1989 in the basement of co-owner Ctirad Kuraks house in Most, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Two years previous, Mr. Kurak and Vladimir Sulc had started making photo etch for themselves and had decided that it was possible to sell to shops, so in 1990 the first photo etch, a 1/48th scale Su 25K, was produced for sale. In that year many more sets were made and sales were so good that they moved into a proper office and opened up a production line in 1991.
Eduard模型配件厂于1989年成立于捷克斯洛伐克(现捷克共和国)Ctirad Kuraks house的地下室。两年内,Mr. Kurak and Vladimir Sulc开始为自己制作蚀刻片,并决定对外销售,因此在1990年生产了第一款蚀刻片,其规模为1/48的Su 25K。同年,生产了更多蚀刻片,销量非常好,他们找到合适的办公室,于1991年开设了一条生产线。
There was a great demand for other scales as well and so 1/72nd and 1/35th were added and a few years, ships. In 1993 our first two models came out, a Sopwith Schneider and a Sopwith Baby, both in 1/72nd scale. The production of plastic models necessitated another move into a larger office and more staff. 994 turned out to be a very good year with the first 1/48th scale kit, a Fokker E III, selling very well and an award in Nuremberg for our photo etch line. By the end of 1995 we had 10 kits on the market and lots of photo etch and had also set up a co-operation with Jules Bringuier of Classic Airframes to produce his models.
因市场对其他比例的需求量也很大,因此增加了1/72和1/35,几年后,也增加了船舶。1993年,推出了两款1/72的新品,是索普威斯施耐德和婴儿式两款水上战斗机。塑料模型的生产需要扩大规模,迁入更大办公室和加入更多的员工。1994年,第一款1/48比例套件,Fokker E II销量非常好,蚀刻片在纽伦堡获得了奖项。1995年底,我们投入市场10个套件和大量的蚀刻片,并且与Jules Bringuier of Classic Airframes 合作生产他的模型。
In 1996 we purchased a new building in the town of Obrnice and began renovations and also brought out a new process for moulding models. This was called LTM and significantly improved our kits. Since then we have continued to improve our technology and are now using full metal moulds which allow us to produce tens of thousands of kits from a mould, making us no longer a short run manufacturer. Early 1997 saw us moving into our new building and the purchase of new equipment.
1996年,我们在奥伯尼斯镇购买了一座新建筑,并开始翻新,同时推出了一种新的模型成型工艺。被称为LTM,大大改进了套件质量。从那时起,不断改进技术,现在使用全金属模具,能够从一个模具中生产数万套套件,我们不再是短期制造商。
We also started producing models and photo etch for other companies including Revell-Monogram and Smer along with many smaller but no less important companies. We have continued evolve and are always looking for new ideas and technologies to improve our products.
