Nice job.  Seems like such a nice kit. I got to fly in one when I was a kid.  Great work 

Thanks,

John

Skill level my butt!

 You did a masterful job on this bird ! ! Your instrument panel in a no clue context would fool anyone just breezing by in a plane book ! !

Just tuned in and WOW! What a masterful and beautiful 172. You have done a superb job of construction and detailing. Really impressive.

Certainly brings back some wonderful memories for me. Spent countless hours in one of these when I was young and my father piloting scenic flights and shuttles all over southern Utah. Thank You so much for sharing your build and skills with us.

Cheers, Joe

Nice build, kg4pg.

My first jump (and many thereafter) was from 172 "711T" from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in the '70s. She was red with white trim, with no "spats" on the gear. Flew many an hour around the islands in the right seat of that bird, too.

Thanks y’all, too kind. Glad it’s done, ready to get back to some smaller stuff. Speaking of jumping from one, I’ve never been skydiving but i January I mentioned interest in a Facebook post, so my wife got me a tandem jump. Going to go after this pandemic mess is all done.
