NewRay 1:42 Cessna 172 Skyhawk with Wheel Diecast Aircraft, for 12 months to 500 months

Arrived very quickly and safe. This airplane was very easy to assemble, being made of four parts held together with four small screws. A small screw driver is included though I used one from my modeling box for better grip. Once assembled the model appears correct if rather simple in appearance. One improvement would be the addition of some additional weight to the nose. As it is if you chose to display the plane without the stand it will not sit level on its tricycle gear. I added a little detail with paint for the tires, navigation lights and a little light weathering. It seems durable enough for moderate play. The plane overall seems to be made of a plastic that is stronger and more flexible that the polystyrene commonly used in plastic model kits. The landing gear and wing supports seem to particularly resilient. Overall I found this kit/toy to pretty good for the money (~$10) and have also ordered the float plane version.

I used this model for my CFI checkride and my DPE really liked how I used it for teaching. I'm going to continue using it for ground lessons. Only mild complaint is as everyone else says, it's tail heavy so it doesn't stay on the front nose wheel but that doesn't matter to me. I don't get the reviews saying it's bad quality, it's the exact quality I expect for under $20. If you want a high quality model Cessna to display, you're gonna need to spend well over $200.

Only issue was the plastic for the stand was not cut properly in factory to insert into the base, so i melted the plastic just a bit, and voilà. Comes with four screws instructions and a screw driver for easy assembly. The tab to open the box was a bit ripped so i was not sure if it was new or previously owned but unused. Still, it was clean and came together nicely. Not fancy

I bought this for my 1.5yr old son. He likes to watch small planes fly everywhere around our house and I didn't want him destroying my delicate display models. This thing is robust and it takes a lot of abuse. My son loves to play with it. It still remains assembled. The plastic is flexible and can endure heavy use. The plane is also a faithful recreation of the Cessna 172. I have several scale models of the 172 but this toy more closely represents the real airplane in size and shape. The only negative is the assembly process. The plane is screwed together. The screw holes in the wing were not tapped and it was very hard to assemble the wing to the fuselage.

This model is a nice replica of a popular plane. I was looking for a plane to go with my 1:43 scale model cars and at 1:42 scale this is about as close as you can get. Made of a durable plastic it comes in 4 pieces which are easy to assemble. Held together by small screws it is important to follow the simple instructions as the screws differ in size according to the piece being fastened. I painted the tires black adding to the realism and simply made a support to lift the tail so it sits properly with all three tires on the runway.

I had to use gloves to touch the airplane, it was so nasty when I got it. Wings have finger prints and a bunch or dirt all over them same with the rest of the plane, let’s just say I lysoled the thing before touching it. Also, cheap material, things are loose and don’t fit right. Poor quality overall.

I wasn't expecting much, I bought this just as a prop for flight instructing and didn't want to spend $50 on a "nice" one when it's going to be bouncing around in my flight bag. For that reason, my value for money and durability ratings might be a bit inflated. ...But the real problem is in assembly. The landing gear and wing slot into the top and bottom of the plane, and then a single screw is supposed to attach them together through the fuselage. The problem with mine was that the counterbore that allowed a shorter screw to be used wasn't sized properly for the head of the screw they included. I tried drilling it out to a larger size, but the screw ended up pulling through the hole and I've had to superglue the two together to make them stay put, which is only going to work for a little while.

My husband is a student pilot going for his check ride and he needed something for his oral exam that he could use.This is a great tool for CFI's to use with their students when going over aircraft systems.I do agree the aircraft does tilt back due to being tail heavy and the protrusion on the tail is unnatural of which he will shave off.but overall great buy!

Looks the part, and my son enjoys playing with it.

古い商品だからかウィンドウボックスのせいで中身が黄変。 使い物になりませんでした、、。

Great model plane for the price! It has a great attention to details and a convenient display stand. I personally think it is a great to display, and it is as great; (if not greater) then some of the more expensive options out there. I would have to say that the package was a little "roughened" up, but that was more or less the shipping company's fault. Otherwise I highly recommend this product!

Buen producto y buena calidad, gracias

セスナ１７２の模型が少ない中、安い割にはクオリティーが高いモデルと思います。 ただし、輸入なので若干の汚れがありましたが許容範囲かなと思います。
