I'll believe it when I see it... Anyway a 1/48th Saab J-21R - jet variant - would be of my interest.

Lars Befring Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I have seen test-shots of the J21 so that project is moving forward. 1
Homebee Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I have seen test-shots of the J21 so that project is moving forward. A Saab J-21 or/and a J-21R? And what about the Saab Sk.60/105? V.P. Edited September 20, 2014 by Homebee
Lars Befring Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 so far I´ve just seen testshots of the J21, but as far as I know the J21R are in the plans as well. the prototyping for the SAAB 105 looks amazing! but so far I´ve only seen testprints and no actual plastic. Their Pilots in 1/72-1/48 and 1/32 looks superb! so everything looks very promising /L 1

Homebee Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Yeee! Thanks Johan V.P. Edited September 22, 2014 by Homebee 1
Col. Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Those CAD images certainly look the part. Quite tempted by this one already.
flarpen Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Yea, sure looks tempting to buy at least 3-4 Bear in mind that these CAD pictures are quite old (acc. to pic names from nov 2013) and has supposedly been perfected quite a bit since then. Love to see some more up to date progress. /Johan

Homebee Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Nice. A little miracle, at last something concrete from Pilot Replicas... Wrong variant for me. Now about the J-21R variants? And what about the looooong promised Saab 105/Sk.60? October 2012: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234928441-148-saab-sk60a-by-pilot-replicas-box-art-cads/?hl=replicas V.P.

Christer A Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Details look very nice, even though the treadmarks on the tires look a little overdone. They were quite tractor-like on the original, but not that pronounced. Even so, it looks like it's getting closer to production! Yay!
Spitfire31 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 It's downright sensational, I think, that a mediocre though rather special looking fighter that didn't serve anywhere but in Sweden is the subject of a state of the art 1:48th commercial kit. I will buy several, of course, and hopefully Maestro Models will help out with cockpit goodies and perhaps even a complete engine update. I guess that those tractor mainwheels are going to appear in refined resin, too. If not, a couple of swipes with wet'n'dry will probably do the trick. Thank you, Pilot Replicas, for your adventurous spirit! I hope the SK 60 will appear soon, too. Kind regards, Joachim
Vlamgat9 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Whats happened to the saab 105/sk60 these guys were going to do??
Spitfire31 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 A delay happened, that's what they say. It's scheduled to appear in due course – whenever that is… ;-) Kind regards, Joachim
