Minicraft 1:48 Cessna 172 Skyhawk

here she is. my finest work, I must say except for the tail number. I coulda done a lot better with the 7. but there were no extra 7s. so I had to improvise

and yes, the tail number is my birthday. lol I didn't want that cheesy N172MC tail number on there. luckily they had extra numbers.








can you guys see the static dischargers on the trailing edges?

I dunno if the wicks should just be left alone, or if they should be painted black

Just leave the wicks Rob. The Cessnas I used to use had plain wire wicks, a typical metallic silver- grey colour.
