Are there any model kits [plastic 1/72 etc] of the Beech 18 available from any of the major manufacturers? If not why not i have looked on the internet and can only find some obscure makes that do not seem easily obtainable.
I used to have many years ago a vac-form beech 18 model that did not go together well.
I would have thought by now someone like Airfix or Revell would have produced a model of this iconic aircraft, preferably 1/48.

Yes, PM Models makes a 1/72 WWII-era Twin Beech.
Here’s a link from a U.S. dealer…you shoud be able to find it elsewhere from a dealer in your country…

Auroura made a model of the “Super 18” series in 1/60th and 1/88th scale.
A bit of a collectors item nowdays, but your only choice if you want a “Super 18” variant from the 1950s-60s.
