OzMods Pilatus PC.9A Roulettes Aerobatic Team

Pilatus PC.9A, A23-051, RAAF Roulettes formation aerobatic team, CentralFlying School RAAF East Sale, Victoria.

 

OzMods 1/72 painted with Gunze acrylics.  Some antennae added from plastic card.  Build thread over in the Unarmed Group Build.  Very much a short run kit, some fairly agricultural looking plastic with no locating tabs and lots of flash, some nice resin parts (cockpit, exhausts, wheels etc) and three canopies, a rather nasty injected one and two vacformed ones.  There is a choice of props, both in flight and feathered.  A bit fiddly in places but with a bit of careeven an average modeller like me can produce a reasonable model.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Hi AW,

 

Very nice. 

I recall seeing them in person, as we lived by RAAF Laverton (Altona actually), where they would visit.

One morning while driving by Laverton, a flight of these came in at low level,

then peeled of one by one to land, pretty cool sight

 

Thanks for sharing with us

 

Regards

Despite the issues, you produced a beautiful build.

Very neat

Awesome!

Just looking at the parts in the box (as I have done at one or two model shows) can be a bit daunting; but you have produced a gem.
