Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Cessna 150 is one of the best-recognized general aviation aircraft ever. With thousands of airplanes in use all over the world, the Cessna 150 can be seen in airports everywhere. The Cessna 150 is a 2 passenger “beginners” airplane because it is easy to learn to fly and inexpensive to operate. This plastic assembly kit features engraved surface detail and is the best model of the famous Cessna 150 available in popular 1/48 scale.

Product Description

For many pilots, this was the first plane they learned to fly. Simple, forgiving, but just remember, keep the landing speed at 60 mph! (At least that?s what my instructor told me.) This model has a removable engine cowling, which allows you look at the detailed engine and accessories. You can see through the cockpit windows to view the instrument panel, controls and seats. The landing gear is covered by streamlined parts and, to finish it off, the decals offer a colorful red, yellow and black design. Paint colors needed: Flat Black, Flat White, Flat Light Grey, Flat Aluminum, and Gloss Silver.

I bought this kit to make a Cessna 150/152 for a friend who just started training in one. I read some reviews but ended up buying this kit anyway because it is literally the only 150 kit I can find. The price is a tad to high for what you get. The biggest problem I have with this kit is the fitting issues. I had to mutilate the engine block just to get the outer panels to fit together around the engine. The pistons (?) have not been designed very well to properly allow other pieces to fit into the pre-drilled holes. While the landing gear is fragile, I had no real issue with it, all 3 gear assemblies survived shipping to my friend. All together, if you need this kit and cannot afford a wood model, buy this kit, but be prepared to zap a billion gaps and have a reserve of patience.

Over many years (72) I've built a lot of plastic models...mostly the good old standard, Revell. After several hours of working on this one it's going in the garbage. Unless you are a precision jeweler with the patience of Job, don't try it. Parts don't fit well and the instructions are very poor. Many times it's hard to tell where to cut the flashing. Even if and when you ever finished this model you'd have to put it in a glass display case, it's so fragile. Very poorly designed kit. I guess I'll have to break down and buy one of the expensive solid models available.
