Runway24 Cessna 172 2000 Skyhawk Blue/White 1:87 Scale Diecast Airplane Model with Runway

My 16-year-old is in flight school and the plane he is learning in is a Cessna 172. I got this for him just for fun and he loves it. Seems to be a quality-made model. Very happy with this purchase.

Makes a great toy as long as 100% realism isn't your primary reason for buying. The body of the plane is pretty true to the actual 172 and makes it nice to show flight students the basics. The landing gear... not terribly accurate, main gear is set back too far (but this allows it to sit on your desk without falling back on the tail). Close enough. For a teaching tool, you won't find any ailerons or flaps on the wings but you can outline some with a fine tip marker. Also not a great tool for teaching P-factor- perhaps the CFI or the keen flight student will notice that the propeller blades are not correct for the clockwise rotating engine the 172 has. I mean yeah, it's nitpicky but it may be the info someone's looking for to make a decision on a training aid. But for a kid- I give it 10 stars because it's the most realistic looking airplane my 4 year old plays with, all his other planes have eyes and mouths and sing stupid songs!

I got this as a Christmas present for a young aspiring pilot, it’s better than expected! Good weight and size.

It’s really good except the runway it came with is foam and the wheels punctured it

I like the airplanes and I wish that would make more in that scale. It gos good with my Ho train, The thing that I did not like that the Stearman PT-17 the same side it was to small. I would like to buy more if all were all in one side. I did was airplane and did it all by hand, and that was work I made $600.00 per airplanes.I stop ad not I put puzzles together and I like airplane puzzles and all airplanes. Now I have a ho train with a airport with some airplanesI would lie to get the airplanes I did and the one I did was a Harvar T-6 and you do not have. I would buy all in that scale 1:87 and here are some of the airplane I have was, Harvar T-6, Cessan 172, Stearman PT 17, Cessan 140, Piper Aztec, Luscombe, and so on and the big airplane was the Mitchell B-25 all by hand and I got $1000.00. I would lie to see more of them. all the Cessna, Piper, Waco, T-34 Mentor, Yak-55, May first was Decathlon and my last was Cessan 140 and thanks for some of the airplanes I hope to see more. Thanks, have a nice day Joel Wagner.

Very nice, looks just like the one we fly. Stans on its wheels without tipping.

I want to get my private pilot license and bought this to put on my night table as a reminder. Good value for money.

Looks good
