Hangar 9 Cessna 182 or Topflite 182?
I have a OS 120 with pump and an OS 200 .
And I want a Cessna 182
I own a real 182 model P from 1973 and want to make the model look like mine.

Which model is more scale realistic? I think the Topflite is modeled after a 182 from the 1970s like mine and the Hangar 9 is more modern.
Which is a better quality model and flyer?

If you're rich and privileged enough to afford a full-scale plane, then why are you wasting your time with a common ARF? There is a company that custom builds large-scale RC Cessnas, and I do believe they can make something to fit your budget. I think you would be better off having someone hired to build you something that matches your plane. Something with an actual six-cylinder reciprocating enginet would be far more realistic than a standard .60 two-stroke, or even a 50cc gasser for that matter. When you have the money, then why not invest in quality? Now let me go find that thread!

Im not rich and every single penny I made was from zero and with hard work.
Now I just want an ARF of a Cessna 182 to make it look like mine.
So which is better Toplite or hangar 9?

The Topflite kit was originally modeled after a '79 182Q. Looks like a great starting point for a recover to your full-scale scheme.
Your plane looks great!
Your plane looks great!

They are all real airplanes - just some are larger than others

You might want to check out this thread on the Top Flite 182. It's full of info. I have the Top Flite version and it is a great ARF. Very detailed.
