kg4kpg Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Okay, got this big bird done a couple weeks ago and finally got some pics. I meant to go to the nearby airfield to have real planes in the background, but this virus madness changed my plans. I’ll go when I get time. It’s not totally accurate as it’s a 70’s Model 172 but I used a paint scheme using Arctic Decals of an updated 172 that looks to be currently in a hanger somewhere in Japan, based on the N number. So please pardon my low skill level with a complicated kit, I don’t do much scratch building. Thanks for looking. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravosierra001 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That looks awesome. It looks like a real one right out of the factory. Well done. Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Lovely detail in the cockpit, a nice result overall of a subject not seen modelled very often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Underdog Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Chris, Gosh, your model has brought back fond memories of building several plastic kits of this particular aircraft, as a young boy. And, being reminded of the few opportunities of getting to fly in the real-deal. You've done a splendid job on your model, and thank you for sharing it with us!

Eric B. Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Hello, Beautiful build of a rarely seen kit. Really beautiful and pleasing. Sorry, I am not sure if I understood your point correctly but N registration should be a US airplane, here it is... https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N11524.html Japanese aircraft ate J japanese. Sorry if I misread... Best regards.. Eric B. Edited April 9, 2020 by Eric B. spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
