Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 25

Precision by Passion: Eduard

Hiya Benchmates — Episode 25 has landed, and this one goes right to the heart of one of the most influential names in scale modelling today.

Whether you're at the bench, planning your next project, or just want to understand what really drives the kits we all build—this episode pulls back the curtain.

🎙️ FEATURE INTERVIEW — Eduard

In this episode, we go inside Eduard—a company synonymous with precision, innovation, and an almost relentless release schedule with Vladimir Šulc - CEO & Jakub Nademlejnský Head of Technology & Innovation for the company.

We explore:

✦ How Eduard has evolved into one of the hobby's most dominant forces ✦ The thinking behind kit design, detail levels, and variant choices ✦ The balance between accuracy, production reality, and modeller expectation ✦ How aftermarket, research, and tooling all connect behind the scenes ✦ The pressures of constant innovation in a fast-moving hobby ✦ What's next—and where Eduard sees the future of scale modelling

If you've ever wondered how your favourite kits and accessories actually come to life—or why certain decisions get made—this is one you don't want to miss.
