Guillow's Piper Cherokee 140 Laser Cut Model Kit

I've been an avid model builder since I've been a kid. Plastic, wood, static, RC. Guillows has been around for a while and have always produced a good, quality product. This little kit is no exception. The quality of the laser cutting, the balsa itself and overall density, thickness of the wood is excellent! The item was delivered in 1 day, in perfect condition, no damage to box or contents at all. Instructions are what you would expect for a kit such as this, you may need to make some changes throughout the build. Already looking at other Guillows kits for future build. Excellent kit and quality contents! Oh, except for the little critter (roach😱) that got trapped inside the plastic bag with the wheels, LOL.UPDATE- got into this little kit and what a beauty! Simple nice fit of ALL parts. Finish in a few days. Update to follow. Update 2242190% complete. Still some touch up and test flights. I coated it pretty good with sig for, it's heavy yes. Built with no intention to fly. Shelf queen.

Easy to follow instructions. Well made. Would buy again.

I really like the new laser cut material. wing attachment was very good. the decals were marginal. the long stripe to go along the side was much too long . the ones for the wheel pants didn't fit well at all. plastic cowl was near impossible to attach.

What a great kit to build. The quality is good and it is a nice puzzle type activity.

Found that this particular model has parts that easily break. Had kit replaced and still same issue. Disappointing as this is the model plane I originally learned to fly.

This was an ok model until I got to the wheels and wheel pants. Wheels were way bigger than plan shows; at least 1/4” and too wide to fit between plastic pant halves. Also, front wheel was hard wood and finished on 1 side only. Be careful with this model!

The parts are much more precise and complete. Worth waiting for your favorite kit to be converted to laser cut.

Took me about a week to build, working maybe an hour a day.The windshield was thrust difficult to work on.
