John Everett Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Hello LSP, I finished the Cessna a few months ago and have posted it in a couple of places. But I thought it might make a nice introduction to my first post here on LSP. There was a lot added to the engine and a little bit done with the interior. But in general the 40 year old kit includes just about everything you see here. Back in August a member was asking if he should build his copy or just collect it. I would answer his question by pointing out that unbuilt models are sad and lonely and if you were going to have a "bucket list" finished model, this would be one.

LSP_Kevin Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Welcome aboard, John! Hoping to see some photos of your Cessna soon! Kev Uilleann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Everett Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hello Kevin. I was bumbling through the unfamiliar format and was able to edit the post and add some pictures. I've got build pictures and a lot more finished photos on my website. Do your forum rules allow for including links to personal sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Great to see the photos, John! Great build - I really like it. Links to other sites are fine, as long as they don't constitute the entirety of the post content, or appear to be in place simply to drive traffic to another site.

Anthony in NZ Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Firstly welcome to LSP! And....wow! That 172 is awesome! We had the Air NZ Flying Club one in our hangar for a SIDS inspection and I thought about getting this kit more than once! Then I got sick of seeing 172 bits all around the hangar which seemed to go on forever and then I got sick of her getting in my way.... and that's when I decided against having 1/20th scale 172. That would mean pieces all over my workbench at home as well....LOL Stunning build and rekindles my interest now she has gone... Well done Edited December 7, 2018 by Anthony in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Great job - very imaginative presentation! There is just not enough civil aviation subjects around - it is quite a treat to see a good example of what can be done. Thanks for posting!!!
