Paul Bradley Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Not to seem ungrateful, but a non-resin PC-7 and PC-9 would be nicer. So many colour schemes and markings..... Edited January 31, 2016 by Paul Bradley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkp Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Not to seem ungrateful, but a non-resin PC-7 and PC-9 would be nicer. So many colour schemes and markings...I. I understand where you're coming from in terms of the colour schemes/users arguments, but the PC-21 is just so COOL! Personally I've little interest in turbo-prop trainers, but I would definitely buy a good 1/48 PC-21, particularly having seen one displayed at Axalp a few years ago. The PC-7 I can take or leave, but I always thought the PC-9 was one of the ugliest planes ever built.....donning tin hat and getting into trench now!

exdraken Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I would welcome it very much! Turbo porp trainers are really nice and underrepresented aircraft in a great variety of color schemes and operators! the PC-21 is just starting to spread...

Thomas V. Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 PC-21 will more than likely better both PC-7 and PC-9 family in term of sales, adding to mentioned list there are plenty of potential buyers in Europe alone ( Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Portugal ) not to mention rest of the world. Would love someone to do it, but would prefer likes of Revell than HB, aside from PC-21, would like to see legacy PC-7 and PC-9M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 For all the historical subjects that have been kitted, there are still many types in current military service, some of them quite widely used, that have rarely or never been so. The Pilatus trainers are glaringly obvious examples, as too are many modern helicopter types. I would happily build a PC-9 or PC-21. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal answer is : Yes you make an excellent case for kiting this plane. I did not realise it was so widely used. It is certainly a beautiful aircraft and with the right scheme it would really pop Here is another option (this I would build!): https://www.airforce.gov.au/displays/roulettes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point; I'd also add that the Beechcraft T-6 Texan II (also of Pilatus lineage, of course) could do with a mainstream kit, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonlanceHR Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Still no kit? Probably a licensing thing. 1/48 Turbo Orlik kit development was stopped by PZL litigation threat a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 As said before would prefer someone else doing PC-21, if nothing else, one of the most beautiful plane with prop in front, what would I give for Revell to tool one in 32nd.scale, but when another round go government subsidies kicks in no doubt HB will release one, hopefully will fall into 20% of TRU-HB without any major inaccuracy.
