Runway24 Cessna 172 Skyhawk 1/87 Scale Die-Cast Model

My son is currently flying Cessna 172s as he prepares for his Private Pilot License, and when I saw this little model, I picked it up for him — it didn’t disappoint. It genuinely put a smile on his face. It’s basically a matchbox‑style plane with its own small runway, and he keeps it right on his desk. It appears to be die‑cast, so it has a nice bit of weight to it and doesn’t feel cheap. For any aviation student or enthusiast, it’s a fun, simple piece that adds a little personality to their workspace. Bottom line: A well‑made, weighty little die‑cast Cessna model that makes a great desk piece for any aviation student or fan.

What a great toy. Beautiful replica and a perfect size for playing with it. Material is sturdy. For me it is a great reminder of my childhood flying with my father.

Solid with great paint job.

Bought this for my son when he had his first orientation flight in a Cessna. He loved it. Seems well made and makes my kiddo happy to have a little souvenir.

great item just as described. fast shipping. thanks!

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!

was a fathers day gift and was well liked

Excellent condition, great size

Used for flight instruction course and plan on being used for instruction for students. Super authentic looking and great quality.

So adorable, got it for my flight instructor as a gift, she loved it! She’s using it to demonstrate various maneuvers when she’s teaching.
