Frequently Asked Questions
What is this model made of?
This Pilatus PC-12 model is handcrafted by High Flying Models from solid mahogany wood. The solid mahogany construction gives the piece durability and a warm, elegant finish, while careful craftsmanship captures the aircraft's sleek aerodynamic profile, sculpted fuselage, and propeller configuration for a true museum quality collectible.

What makes the clear canopy special?
The rare clear canopy is this model's standout feature.

The result is a premium, museum quality collectible aimed at aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and serious collectors.
What details are included on the model?
Beyond the clear canopy and detailed cockpit, the model showcases a meticulously crafted landing gear and an authentic propeller configuration. It faithfully represents the sleek contours and aerodynamic profile of the real PC-12, making it an accurate and eye catching scale tribute to the aircraft.
Can this model be personalized?
Yes. This High Flying Models PC-12 offers an engraved base personalization option, so you can add custom text to the display base. That makes it a memorable gift for a Pilatus PC-12 owner, a pilot, a retirement, or a milestone, turning a striking collectible into a one of a kind keepsake.

Treat it like fine wood furniture. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth, keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid fading, and handle delicate parts like the propeller and landing gear gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or water. With basic care, solid mahogany construction keeps the model looking sharp for years.
Is this a toy or a collectible display model?
It is a collectible display piece, not a children's toy. Crafted from solid mahogany with fine, fragile details, it is intended as desk, office, or museum style decor. Many buyers display it to spark conversations about aviation heritage or to honor time spent flying the Pilatus PC-12.
Is this model returnable?
This item is non-returnable, so please confirm the size, finish, and any personalization before ordering. Because it is handcrafted and can be engraved to order, we recommend reviewing the 18.5 inch wingspan and 15.5 inch length before you buy.
