Model Airplane -- Where to Purchase?

I need to purchase a plastic model cessna 172 airplane for teaching purposes. I've been on Sporty's website all morning, and can't find one. Any tips on where I can purchase one today? Kind of in a bind without it.


Thanks

130+ dollars for a plane, nah. I'm looking for something cheap to show students when explaining parts and aerodynamics. These planes are more formal/sit on the desk/display type.
Thanks anyways

Tried toy shops? Sometimes you can get cheap, fairly accurate models...

You can find some pretty nice paper model "kits" at this site:

I built the Piper Cub in about 2 hours (not counting glue drying time) and it looks very nice. (the Cub is one of their free samples, so the price is right)
