The Academy 1/48 Cessna 172 Skyhawk Civil Air Patrol model captures the profile of a widely used light aircraft famed for its service in observational and assistance duties. This scale kit emphasises correct proportions and straightforward assembly for a tidy finished model.
Launched in the 1950s, the Cessna 172 quickly became a mainstay of civil aviation worldwide. Its Civil Air Patrol use demonstrates how the airframe served non-combat roles such as search, observation and community support, which this model reflects.
The kit's components are moulded to align cleanly, allowing experienced modellers to achieve a neat result with careful filling and painting. Once complete, the model suits either a simple stand display or a modest operational vignette.
