1/72 Airfix Piper Cherokee

Very nicely done. The base and figures are very effective too.

I'm not a civil aircraft modeler, but this is one of the best builds of a civilian airplane I have seen for quite a while- in any scale! As the others have said, flawless and scale finish, as well as perfectly faired in and polished transparencies- can't imagine how much fun it was getting all those clear parts attached and blended on such a small model. Well done! Looks more like a 1/48 model than one in God's Own Scale!

Something different....and nicely done!

I'll just add my admiration here as well.

Ahhhh a Cherokee Arrow - my favourite light aircraft, I dread to think how many hours I spent pulling those things apart and putting them back together again. I really wish someone would do a decent long winged Arrow III kit.

This is a superb build - very nicely done. You've captured the look of the aircraft very well indeed.

Neatly done, and nicely different.

Top drawer build.

Best rendition of the Airfix Cherokee I've ever seen. Beautiful.

I saw the "real" G-BAAP at Biggin Hill in 1987.

Amazing work on this old kit. The base and figures just add to it and the overall scene looks great!

Got to agree with all of the above - and more. That could almost be the real thing - certainly the aircraft could.

I must agree. That brings back so many memories of flying in a Cherokee -- except I rarely had an attractive young woman as a companion.

I have never built a civil aircraft,as a brush painter the colours used are not ideal! A wonderful model,well tidy mun.

I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of civi aircraft but that looks really great - nice one.

That is a superb build of the classic Airfix Cherokee, certainly I can't recall seeing it done better and the model is very nicely enhanced by the vignette. Top marks from me for that effort!

I had this kit, with the intention of building it as an ‘aircraft I have flown’ build. Unfortunately I’d not realised it was a ‘retractable U/C’ version and the work required to convert it was extensive. Of course I’m into 3D modelling now so what seemed ‘too difficult’ then is only ‘a bit of a challenge’ now. I don’t think I have it now if I recall, I sold it on.

Absolutely beautifully turned out and presented!
