fireboss Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Has anyone heard of any mfg. making an injected molded 1/72 Harvard II. I can' believe no one has made one yet considering all the countries that use them. There are kits of A/C that were just prototypes and never saw service, why not one that is used?

Ozmods makes a 1/72 scale PC-9. Is that close enough. (don't know why this is in 'Todays Birds') Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 :D, If the Texan II has the wide low pressure tyres that our PC-9s have it may well be a very close match. and yes, I don't know why so many companies make prototypes when there are other popular production aircraft outthere that almost no one is producing. , Ross.

Trojan Thunder Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I think there are a few differences between the PC-9 and Texan II. Things that come to mind are a different canopy, rear fuselage strake under the tail, nose forward of the windscreen, upper fuselage just behind the canopy, horizontal stab and ejection seats. My reasoning is that the was a PC-9 conversion created for the 1/48 Ibex Texan kit and these were the mains parts in the conversion. Here is an image of the Ibex Texan II converted to a PC-9 ( in 1/48), not my build BTW Edited April 25, 2015 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireboss Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just got an e-mail from Greg at OZMODS, the Ratheon Texan II is on their list to be released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
