You could 'evolve' one, as if it had entered service, along the lines of the Hueycobra: flat-panel canopy, 20mm M197 gun & TOW missiles.

There was a Czech resin kit many years back by an outfit called Miku, I think.  .

Legato maybe ?  The 2003 addendum to the PAK-20 Big Book has that listed but not Miku

Akatombo Works did a resin one too.

Looking good. I'm a great believer in the return of some simpler kits, the type that can get kids into the hobby easier.

Agreed Ratty. Although simpler kits can be a great introduction to  the hobby for those of any age  :thumbsup:

No, it was definitely Miku.  Van883 of this very parish bought it off me about ten years back.

Looking at the link Harold posted, it would seem that there's a number of manufacturers that have produced the AH-56 that are not in the Big Book. It could be because they came after the publishing date though (2001), even though the Addendums continue until 2007 (which is now 12 years out of date already  :o )

They're taking pre-orders for the Cheyenne and it's shipping in 6 weeks according to the site:

https://www.atlantis-models.com/plasticmodelkitatlantistoyandhobby.aspx

Unfortunately they only ship direct to the USA and Canada, so the rest of the world will just have to hope that their local distributors bite. Hannants have stocked their stuff in the past.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
