Cessna 152

I don't wish any liveries...just gimme the paintkit.  ;D

there is a 152 down across from the hanger i fly out of at my local airport for sale. new paint job, not sure of the inside, but they only want 23.5k

is that reasonable for a 152?

[Airbus]

Well it depends on the year and how many hours its has, annuals and all of the other stuff that goes along with buying an plane. They can run dirt cheap. Ive wanted to buy one and completely restore it; that would make a wonderful summer project. Would be great to put my a&p knowledge to use.

Take a look at this, this is a rebuild of a 150.

Very simple aircraft to work on.

I usually check this site for rates on used aircraft.

neat. i just wonder how i would feel sitting in one. i fly(rent) a c172 now for my flight training, i wonder if a 152 would be to small for me.i will take a look at it when i go down again this weekend. what i really want is a Remos GX. lol

I don't know about the 152, but I've flown the 150, and it's really cramped with two male adults in the cockpit. Not something you would go on a grand tour with.

[Airbus]

olafg the 152 is just about the same.

I'm 5'7 and I made it in.  Squeaks and rattles all over the place, I thought I was going to break something climbing into it!

I would say comfort depends on how tall you are.

Haha, my instructor has a saying

"You don't get in one of these...you put it on"

[Kaphias]

I agree, I remember getting in our 152 and then getting in a friends 172... like a Mini versus a Hummer!

"You don't get in one of these...you put it on"

Love that quote.  ;D

Here are some basic clay renders of the cabin. I'm in the process of figuring out the best way to texture in fabric and panel details.

[MaidenFan]

Looking good!

[WombatBoy]

Are the pens going to be clickable

Seriously, it's looking great. I have a high res panel shot of the 150 I fly if you'd like it. It's 3872x2928 pixels or something.

[woweezowee]

very nice!

[JBalsa]

Good work so far!

Dont forget the small emergency kit compartment in the bottom left of the cabin.

(This is a particularly ugly example, but it works)

[Airbus]

Sure why not. Ill take a look at it.

[JBalsa]

Gah! I've mistaken left and right once again!  >

Bottom right of the photo was what I meant to say. Here's a close up of the compartment in the Cessna I fly, of course they vary allot.

Sorry for the late response.

I had the door modeled there but I removed and forgot to replace it. It will make it there

[Airbus]

Lost most of my mind working on this. Yeah the door is still missing.

Something to keep the interest.

[WombatBoy]

Nice and grotty Just the way I like it.

[Airbus]

Quick video. Must make float model.

[woweezowee]

nice! looking forward to it!

[Oliver]

No problem. I'm still working on bits of the fuselage and cockpit. The other day I went back and re mapped the fuselage over two maps instead of one. That makes panting all those rivets much easier. The cockpit has some animations started also. Ill Work on getting some new shots of the exterior soon; May is kind of a busy month.

Stay tuned .

Can't wait Jason, this is the main plane I currently fly, fun little ACF! Can't wait for release!

[StormyPilot]

Looking very promising.  You don't happen to be planning to include a livery paint kit are you? *hint hint*

I second that! I'd love to make my flight school livery  ;D

[Airbus]

Yes it will have a paint kit included. But its spread across two 2048 texture pngs.
