Cessna-172 Model Makers


Recommended Posts

Nichimo made a 1/20 scale Cessna 1/72 kit that was absolutely gorgeous. I had one many long years ago but didn't have the modeling skills to make the most of what the kit had to offer. You can still find the kit at eBay for between $270 and $300. Where you'd find decals for it I don't even begin to know.

1/48: Minicraft and Italeri (Esci moulds)

This might be read by someone as if both the Minicraft and Italeri kits are reboxings of the Esci moulds, however, Minicraft did their own tools. Which one did it better is not up to me as I've only seen the Esci kits. Some comparisons can be found here:

The Minicraft kit has been reboxed by a Turkish company named PM Model. The Esci kit has been reboxed by Modelcraft from Canada. For a full overview, check Scalemates! 

 

The Esci kit has a lot of raised rivets which are, off course, not to scale. However, I chose to not remove them on my model. I really like how well this kit captures the Skyhawk shapes!
