Why this kit matters
The Pilatus PC-21 is widely regarded as one of the most advanced turboprop trainers in service. It offers performance and avionics that bring trainee pilots close to jet-trainer experience while remaining cost-effective.
For modellers, building the PC-21 offers a bridge between classic WWII or Cold War warbird modelling and modern military aviation. With its clean lines and contemporary design, it adds variety to any aircraft model collection — and the “Aus Decals” option lends regional authenticity for those interested in the Royal Australian Air Force or other operators.
How to use it
Begin by carefully removing parts from the sprue and cleaning any mould lines. Use model glue to assemble the fuselage, wings, undercarriage and canopy per instructions. Paint the model in your chosen scheme (or as per the decal instructions) and apply the decals once paint has dried. Finally, display the model on a shelf or in a diorama showcasing modern military aviation.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
