We can inform that the first test casting has been done and it looks good. We will soon show some pictures. (...) V.P. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Between this and Eduard's Z-126 kit coming up, I may end up delving into 1/48 for the first time in ages. I just about lost my sanity wrestling with Marivox's 1/72 Saab 105 (I never did finish it) and I don't see another 105 on the horizon in any scale anytime soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In generall I'd suggest to convert to 1/48 if accuracy variety and buildability and aftermarket is your interest. Especially regarding jets.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially regarding jets.. There is also the advantage that they are larger which is helpful as increasing decrepitude causes issues.

flarpen Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The test build looked really nice. but the forms needs some final tweaks apparently, to get everything to line up as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Source: https://plasticfantastique.com/uncategorized/news-from-pilot-replicas/ Quote (...) At Modellexpo 08-Open 2022 I had the pleasure of meeting Claes Wahlund, the owner and enthusiast behind Pilot Replicas. Starting with pilots and auxiliary vehicles in scale 1/48 he has since given us exquisite kits of the Saab J 21 and the Saab J 29 Tunnan. So it was with some anticipation I could ask him about his upcoming projects. The first thing that caught my eye at his tables was a built version of the long rumoured Saab Sk 60. Claes told me that this was a pre-production test press that he built to find out if there need to be further improvements on the moulds. Corrections have been sent to the factory and he hoped that they could start production within a few weeks. As always things are a bit uncertain when it comes to these things. There's always new challenges. The production is done in Hong Kong and usually the products are transported by the Trans Siberian Railway but this possibility is now closed due to the war in Ukraine, so just the delivery times will be much longer. But still I got the impression that the Sk 60 is not that far away. (...) Concerning the smaller white Saab Sk.60 in the picture herebelow, that's just a 3D print model that Pilot Replicas used to make its 1/48th kit. Although it is close to 1/72nd, it's not a kit project in this scale! V.P. Edited April 17, 2022 by Homebee 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Release date is in about three weeks. And this time it is true. I know, because I have one of them in my hands. And it looks great! 😀 Pilot Replicas has received a small batch, more are on their way. The first batch will be sold at their webpage www.pilot-replicas.com. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It seems like the entire first small batch went to IPMS Dalarna? Now I know of at least 3 people there that has one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
