The UCAV EDI (Extreme Deep Invader) was developed jointly with the FA-37 Talon. EDI (call sign 'Tinman') is smaller than the Talon and has a downward-canted delta platform. Although designated an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), the EDI retains a cockpit for maintenance and emergencies. Among the features incorporated into the EDI are V/STOL capability, a Kermit (metal ceramic) composite exoskeleton and aeroelastic wings. The engine is described as a Pulse Detonation Engine with twin Hybrid Scramjet Turbos fueled by catalyzed A1 methane. It carries two Throat Ripper AAMs, two Shock Hammer AGMs, three AGM-130s, known as Blue Ferrets, and a GAU-12 Equalizer.  EDI also carries three FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) missiles, though the designation of those missiles is unknown.

Released in October 2010, the EDI-UCAV kit was produced exclusively for Fantastic Plastic Models by Anigrand Craftswork of Hong Kong.  The kit includes recessed engine exhausts, landing gear, and a detailed cockpit interior including the spherical EDI "brain."

Length of kit: 9 inches
