Well now ...I hadn't planned for a WIP on this one, but after a friend asked me to - well here we go. First things first: Yes! - it actually is the 1968 Aurora 1/72 AH-56A Cheyenne! I bought it some years back in a hobbyshop where they had bought a lot models of a collector. This one happend to be amongst them and I paid AFAIR about 3-4 £! Ever since being a kid I wanted to build this kit so here is my take on it. I'm actually in the midst of building Airfix' great little JU-87, but while I was waiting for it to dry after being gloss-coted, this one caught my eye. Yes - I know, it's probably sacrilege, but then again I've never bought a kit I didn't want to build, and after the fun I had with Airfix' 1/32 Buggy..... First off is the box: Beautifull - isn't it? I said to myself: "Myself! This one is going to be OOB, OK?" - but of course I didn't listen, did I? For starters I rebuild the cockpit as close as possible to the original as my small butterfingers would allow me to: All the pieces in white are scratc built. Then I had a go at the airvents: Then some paint was in order: Oh - the seatbelts are made from Milliput and are my first attempt at this sort of doing them this way (saw a video on youtube! ) And here is where I'm at the moment: The kit decals are quite yellowed, so they are now taped to a window awaiting some sunlight! Now I wonder if the glosscote on the Stuka has dried? Cheers for now Hans J

Hello everyone, I have this buddy with a connection [by some lengths] to this aircraft: The challenge is to find a 72nd scale kit and build it as such. We know of a Gremlin Models release from some time ago but haven't come much further trying to locate one. Are there any other kits out there of the PA-42, whatever the scale and medium? Any input would be much appreciated. Cheers, Niki
