Jingoes they look sooo nice. Just wish there was a 1/48 version available. Looked at the old Monogram Cessna 180 but at 1:41 scale its too big to look right with 1/48th stuff.

We’re lucky we have this mixed media (vac & resin) kit in 1/72 to be fair, having built about 13 of them they are no longer too much of a challenge. but would be good to get a decent injection moulded C180/185 AZ Model were rumoured to be doing one, however it’s never appeared...

Beautiful work Harry! I was admiring this on Flickr earlier.
Are you excited for the long-awaited KP 185 (and hopefully 180) kit to come out?

Thanks Zac, I didn’t know that this was being released. It will make construction easier that’s for sure...I still have 5-6 outstanding orders for 180/185s however have paid Lars for these...it would be good to take a look at for subsequent models

I know all about the kit, it was supposedly going to be released by AZ Model! It might be interesting to see in the flesh, there might be the option of swapping bits into/out of Lars' models as well (vac canopies and resin instrument panel etc). Of course Lars does a couple of very accurate resin float designs, skis and pannier which the KP kit may not have.

Lol...figure of speech, but it seems I’m building all MCAs c185s, this ones for another commission 😉

Very Nice Cessna. I built the old Monogram 1/41st scale kit just a couple years ago and use Old Model decals for it. The only inaccuracy I can live with is the smaller dorsal fin fillet and the lack of the rearmost cabin window. I will post images if I can find them!

The only inaccuracy I can live with is the smaller dorsal fin fillet and the lack of the rearmost cabin window. That's because the Monogram kit is a 180, not a 185

Strangely enough...all attributes that can be readily changed to MAKE it into a ‘185 😉

Very nice I like that one a lot. Did you know that an injection kit of the C185 is coming sometime this year from KP kits!! Boxart show Greek Army markings but easily changed for other markings like those by Old Model Decals.

Yep, absolutely! Not sure when that model is due out, in the meantime I have 6 commissions to build It'll be interesting to see how good it is KP have done some fairly good GA aircraft. My concern will be, how easily will it convert back to a C180?
