Eduard Model Accessories is a Czech manufacturer of plastic models and finescale model accessories.

Formed in 1989, in the city of Most Eduard began as a manufacturer of photoetched brass model components in a rented cellar. Following the success of their early products, the company branched off into plastic models in 1993. As of 2006, Eduard's product line contains some 30 plastic kits and more than 800 individual photoetch detail sets. To the plastic modeller community at large, Eduard has become a household word in the field of photoetched parts, and their products are available worldwide.

Eduard aircraft kits range from WWI to the present-day. Some notable ones include: most of the famous WWI fighters in 1:48 and 1:72 scales, P-40 and P-39and FW-190 fighters, the Dassault Mirage III, and most recently, a BF-110C/D, all in 1:48. Their older kits are of good quality, but the newer releases such as the P-39s and FW-190s in their "Profipack" releases (including a photoetched detail set and painting masks, along with other goodies) are acquiring a reputation as good or better as the newer Tamiya and Hasegawa kits.
