A Perfect Tribute The Plane I Learned to Fly on.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read Reviews

Absolutely blown away by the detail on my Cessna 172B model. They matched the tail number, paint scheme, and even the little scuffs near the cowling from my original aircraft. It’s more than a model—it’s a tribute to the plane I learned to fly on. Highly recommend ModelWorks to any pilot or collector!
