The T-41 Mescalero was the Cessna 172 built to military specifications. Primarily intended for flight training duties, the T-41A was essentially an off-the-shelf Skyhawk C-172F. Really nice all plastic kit suitable for most modelers.

Product description

Cessna C172 Flight Trainer/T-41 Mescalero 1:48

A very nice all plastic kit & part of the large family of private & recreational aircraft model kits now issued under the Minicraft banner. Some of these kits are re-issues of classic Japanese kits from the 1970's, others [ like this one] are brand new molds- the Mescalero began life as a basic Cessna 172 model kit issued in 2005. These kits are not at all easy to find & prices vary between distributors. I do not believe that the production runs are very high & we struggle to find stock. Minicraft & Academy were once teamed up as ACADEMY/MINICRAFT and were all the rage throughout the 1980's & 1990's producing large production runs of generally well received models. Since they parted ways some time ago, Minicraft kits have become scarce, whilst Academy continues to churn out quality kits for decent prices. Get this one while you can at retail prices- remember, you can always buy it for triple the price on ebay !

Check Scalemates, Cybermodeler & Hyperscale for some very good reviews of this family of kits.
