Cessna 188 AG WAGON 3D print model

Cessna Aircraft of Wichita, Kansas built the Cessna AGwagon in 1965 as one of the first purpose-built airplanes for seeding and aerial application of herbicides and pesticides. Prior to this most spray planes were converted from other uses, such as was done with Stearman and Tiger Moth trainers after the Second World War.

Aerial application is one of the most demanding types of flying and potentially hazardous as well. For effective spraying the pilot must fly within ten feet of the ground while avoiding power lines, cables, towers and any other hazards sticking up from the ground. As well, many of the pesticides and herbicides chemicals are toxic. The pilot must take great care to avoid touching or inhaling the mixtures while loading and spraying the fields.

Cessna ceased production of all of its 'Ag' aircraft in 1985 after building approximately 3975 variants of this design including 53 AGpickups, 1589 AGwagons, 1949 AGtrucks and 385 AGhuskies.

Add this incredibly detailed model to your collection. It is super detailed, with wing lines, engine lines, door markings, window and windshield recesses, agricultural product application system and propellers. The model is available in two scales, 1/100 and 1/48, but you can scale it to the desired size on your slicer of choice. It works well with SLA and FDM printers and is easy to assemble. Have fun!
