Looking to creat a WIF on a...

[utahbob]

Hello,
I am looking for a model of a Beechcraft Super King Air, Cessna 421 or other like air craft that uses the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine to create a WIF model. I have used Google and looked all over the internet with no success. Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

     There are a couple of 1/72 resin &/or vac Super King Airs. There's also a Polish company that made several resin twin Cessnas & Piper Cheyenne versions, but I can't recall the name. BTW, unless a C421 has been converted, it doesn't use PT-6's, it uses TCM GTSIO-520  recips. Other than those, you're left with wooden display models.

The Revell/Matchbox Twin Otter has a pair of PT6's that might be easier to come by.  RVHP do some very expensive resin models of C-12 & Super King Air variants.  Gremlin do a number of resin Cessna & Piper turboprops.

Not PT6's, but the Revell DO.28 has a pair of Lycoming O-540's which are a direct competitor to the PT6.  The Revell Do.228 has Garret TPE331's, again in a similar class to the PT6.

     Just curious. How do you figure a 300 hp or less piston engine is a direct competitor to a 600 - plus hp PT-6 turbo prop? The TPE-331 is indeed a competitor, but an O-540???

That'd most probably be Broplan. Nice basic kits, but a fair amount of work needed to get them together.

Gremlin used to do resin Cheyennes etc. in resin and Hannants still has some in stock. http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?manufacturer_id=8035
Due soon (hopefully!) are two 1/72nd injected kits of the SKA 200/C-12 by Mach 2 in France and Avition Workshop in the UK under their Airframe range.

Alright, I got mixed up.
