Ikon N'West: Cessna 170B and L-19 Bird Dog

Model Airplane News, Apr 2003

Ikon N'west has delivered top-quality, traditional kits for more than 30 years, and these two newest releases are no exception. Take, for example, the new IA-scale Cessna 170B. The 86-inch-span model features a fiberglass cowl, aluminum landing gear, working doors and wing flaps. It sells for $175.50 (plus $10.50 S&H).

Ikon's already popular L-19E Bird Dog is now available in 1/s scale. The 85-inch-span model features a fiberglass cowl and aluminum landing gear, and because the full-size aircraft featured a sheet-metal construction, Ikon includes balsa to cover the model for a true scale appearance. All parts are hand-cut from selected balsa. The Bird Dog sells for $283.50 (plus $13.50 S&H).
