Academy Piper Cherokee 140 in 1/48 - How good?

[CarLos]

Hi all,

I acquired recently one specimen of these. It seems to be a reasonably good kit, with lots of potencial for conversion, but I also read some bad things about it although not indicating the potencial problems.

Is there anybody out there with informed opinions on the subject?

Thanks,

Carlos

It's the ex Bandai mould, and goes together without much drama. Here's an online build I found, and another on another site. The only problem I remember was finding enough room to put the nose weight while still keeping the engine.

Thank you, Jessica!
