Some guys from German IPMS visited the Eduard facility in Obrnice two weeks ago. In the development dept. they met one of Eduards chief designers, Standa Archman (the guy that messed up the 109G
).
He gave some hinds to following 2015 releases:
Fw 190 - series in 1/72
Avia 534 in all variants, 1/72
Spitfire Mk.VIII and Mk.XVI, both 1/48
...and he mentioned some "American wild horses" in quarterscale. Yikes!

Assumed, those "leaks" will indeed further substantiate. an all-new Mk.XVI will be great news (for me).
Hopefully a cut-back Mk.XVIe...

Hoping to hear about a leak on very late mark Spitfires some day, hopefully in a more accurate design than the 109...

Which late Marks in particular?
Personally speaking, a new-tool Mk.XIVc and a cut-back Mk.XIVe would be quite nice.

All Griffon engined ones up to Mk.47 for me!

I hope he has nothing to do with the design of any of these. I'm shocked Eduard didn't fire him. Anyone with more than a cursory knowledge of 109s would have caught the mistakes he made...what a waste...I've really curtailed my spending on Eduard since the 109 G-6 fiasco.

Well, in fact, why not. At least some beefed-up re-boxings of the Airfix Seafires Mk.XVII, FR.46/47 and a Spitfire PR.XIX. Just like they did with their F.22/24.
One simply can't have enough Spifires.
OK, an eduard Pony wouldn't be bad either... Time to get rid of that Focke-Wulf/Messerschmitt pest!

They put out a "state of the art" 109G-6 that is far les accurate than the 25 + year-old Hasegawa one...that's a fiasco, and I'm not rivet counting either. These are fundamental issues. Surprised this is the first you've heard of it...
