Sporty’s releases Cessna 172 model

Sporty’s Aviation Gifts has released its 2025 Limited Edition Cessna 172 Die-Cast Model.

The replica is inspired by a 1969 Cessna 172K, N46418, owned by Brandon and Casey Bates, winners of Sporty’s annual contest to select the most worthy aircraft. Sporty’s invited Skyhawk owners to submit photos of their aircraft and selected tail number N46418, among dozens of submissions, for the model, company officials said.

Celebrating the iconic Skyhawk, first flown in 1955 and still in production today, the 1:72 scale model features:

• Realistic landing gear and see-through cockpit
• Rotating propeller
• Customizable flight configurations, with display stand included

Price: $59.99.
