Fire at Eduard Models Accessories Warehouse

On Sunday, December 20th, a fire broke on the second level of the Eduard Models Accessories Warehouse. Below pictures provided by members of the staff and management during and after the blaze. Based on the final assessment after the blazes were extinguished, Eduard Models will be running hopefully in a timely manner as action is being taken as we speak.

”Today, unfortunately, there was a fire in the Most building, which we rent for our warehouse. Fortunately, no one was injured. Our production is based in our own building at Obrnice. We immediately started looking for replacement premises so that we could restore the normal operation as soon as possible. We estimate it’ll take a number of weeks.”

Fire on Eduard Model Accessories Warehouse.

Thanks, everyone for your support. Last but not least big thanks to fire fighting teams on site today!
PS: we postpone release our Christmas video for few days.

Until further notice, we are not able to process orders via the e-shop. It will be great if you will support us via your retailers and distributors.

UPDATE: December 23rd, 2020

”Dear friends, thank you again for your messages and support!
Yesterday we completed the reconnaissance of our premises and prepared for today’s evacuation of undamaged goods from the warehouse. It still looks like it will be possible to save more than we hoped.”

”The rest remains in the warehouse and will get new boxes in the packaging compartment. The evacuated goods will be moved to a nearby hall, where they will wait until the new space is available for the temporary location of the sales department. We have several offers, they will be evaluated on Wednesday. I assume that preparations for the move will begin immediately on December 28, and perhaps the move to selected areas will begin in the last week of the year. My plan is to start selling no later than January 15th.
The department providing packaging, including stored components, is intact and ready for action. In this part of the building, we found also moldings for the Tornado, which I originally mistakenly declared destroyed. So there will be a Tornado with pin-up posters.”

The January INFO will be released on Tuesday, January 5.
