Cessna 172
Kit No: 2764
Scale: 1/48
Type: Injection Moulded Plastic
Manufacturer: Italeri The Hobby Company/MRC
The Cessna 172 is, measured by its popularity and longevity, the most successful aircraft in history with over 43,000 examples produced by Cessna and its associated partners since its introduction in 1956. Still in production to this day, most people involved or interested in aviation will have had some experience of the 172, either seeing them at their local airfield, flying around their local vicinity or even learning to fly in one. When I was young we lived near to Birmingham International airport and the approach to the now closed short runway 06/24 passed right in front of our house, which nearly always had a collection of mainly 172s constantly buzzing around doing touch and gos and other training. I would happily watch these with a dream of one day owning one and buzzing around in that fashion, but alas as yet I haven’t quite made it that far, but have got to fly in a few.
