I think we all guessed Eduard's Royal Class Messerschmitt Bf 110 might be a bit special - but news from Eduard this evening shows just how tasty this limited edition version will be!

Hi Rowan!

Very nice indeed... but do you know how many kits will be included? Two or three? And do you know the price of this Royal Class box?

Hi Jean-Luc

There will be two full kits, plus the extras in the Royal package. No info yet on the price, but details are unfolding by the hour...

All the best

Just awesome! Until now I haven't purchased a Royal Class boxing mainly due to the cost. However, it looks like I will be breaking that self imposed tradition with this one. Bravo, Eduard!

I have never purchased a Royal Class Kit before, but I think I have to get this one.

Hi all!

The exact content of the Royal Class Bf110 boxing can be seen on Eduard's website now.
The kit will cost 185$ without shipping. E.U. members will have to add 19% VAT so the kit will cost them 220$. If you order on Eduard's site, the box will cost between 215$ and 250$...

This is by far the most expensive (for the modeller) Royal Class kit produced by Eduard...

i am (the incredibly proud) owner of all royal class boxes; my Me-110 arrived yesterday. It occurred to me that Eduard ommitted 1 detail since the last issue: as far as i can see the box is not numbered in any way

The 190 Royal Class was my first Royal Class Kit. I really, really like it. I have purchased the Rota Flieger Special Edition, and I really like it also. I will be getting the 110 Royal Class, when I can afford it. The amazing thing is that I will probably never build any of them.
