Our model construction kits are the last word in scale realism for the super detail fan and light weight for those who build and fly. Each model is a small but faithful replica of an airplane widely known for deeds in wartime or present day popularity. Series 300 features popular private planes still in use today by many private pilots, with precision laser-cut parts for easier assembly. Review: Excellent Kit! - Excellent Kit, premium Balsa wood, good instructions, however must be read thoroughly and carefully. Great challenging entertainment for hours on end for just a little more than the price a meal at McDonalds. Guillow's has been doing business for 100 years here in the U.S., and I can remember attempting to build one of these kits when I was 13 years of age. Some of the bad reviews must be evaluated with some skepticism, like the old saying "its a inadequate craftsman that blames the material, or his tools for his failures". Review: Great Beginner-Intermediate Balsa Model Airplace - This was my second Guillow's Model I have built (after the Guillow's North American P51D Mustang kit). This model kit was much superior to the Mustang. The benefits of laser cut balsa (as opposed to die-cut) are numerous, as the stringer notches (one of the largest annoyances I had with the Mustang) are already cut for you, and the pieces easily drop right out of the sheets of balsa. This kit has a quality feel, and all the required components to build a flying rubber band-powered model are included. Although this is about double the price of the Mustang, it is well-worth it, and I would even recommend this model to someone building their first balsa airplane. I spent about 12 hours building it (with no paint or decals) and I was able to fly it, albeit poorly. Overall, I am pleased with this model and for someone looking to get started with models, I would recommend this kit. ## Features - Cessna 170 has a 24" wingspan - Precision laser cut balsa parts, scale WWI plastic wheels, full set of decals, vacuum formed plastic parts and all accessories needed - Fly with included rubber power motor or convert to electric or gas engine - Complete instructions for building either to fly or for static display - Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008D37Q8U | | Additional Features | laser cut | | Age Range (Description) | Adult, Young People | | Age Range Description | Adult, Young People | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Building Kit | | Brand | Guillow's | | Brand Name | Guillow's | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 126 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072365103023 | | Included Components | precision laser cut balsa parts, scale WWI plastic wheels, full set of decals, vacuum formed plastic parts, all accessories, rubber power motor | | Item Dimensions | 17 x 1.88 x 5 inches | | Item Highlight | Build for flight or static display Includes rubber power motor, scale wheels, decals, and vacuum formed plastic parts | | Item Part Number | 302 LC | | Item Weight | 7.04 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 17 x 1.88 x 5 inches | | Manufacturer | Flat River Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | 302 LC | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | 2148194048 | | Model Number | 302 LC | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Product Style | Modern | | Scale | Eighteenth Scale | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Series 300 | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Aircraft | | Theme | Building | | UPC | 746550958001 072365103023 799493833225 033170320616 072365003026 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Child,8 - 11 Years - **Brand:** Guillow's - **Color:** Multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 17 x 1.88 x 5 inches - **Theme:** Building ## Images ![Cessna 170 Laser Cut Model Kit for 8 - 11 Years - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816BZ1l5tmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with coverings or should I just use tissues?** A: It comes with tissue. **Q: where's it made** A: In the USA near Boston. **Q: How do you get a gas powered engine for it?** A: Check on eBay for a Cox .020 Pee Wee Airplane Engine.
