Recommended Posts

I have a girlfriend that happens to be interested in my hobby! She stated once after visting my hobby-room that I have to many "grey planes" on the shelves.. "You should build a Pink plane! " She said..."I have always liked sea-planes..." I thought that OK...she will get her pink sea-plane....

Here we go!

Hello BK974,

Good job :thumbsup:/> . I am building a cessna 150 and I want to enlarge it to 172. Can you please send me the instruction sheet in PDF or JPG format (if it is no bother) so I can distinguish between them.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Bensi,

Sorry to tell you, but you cannot make a 172 out of a Cessna 150. :crying2:/>

A Cessna 172 has 4 side windows, and is generally larger in all dimensions.

It would be easier to built the 150 as it should be, maybe you can do a 152 out of it. If you really want a 172, the only way is to ger the Minicraft 172 kit (maybe ESCI made one, too?).

Just compare:

Hi Lancer512,

Thanks for reply and the examples.

I thought that I can cut the body and add (from scratch) the rear section where the two rear seats and windows are located.

Do you know if the width of the 172 is larger than the 150 or the diffidence is only the length ?

Thanks anyway...

Bensi
