I was going through the old collection and I found these. Two general aviation aircraft in need of restoration. Pretty sure they're a Piper Cherokee and Cessna Skyhawk, but not 100% sure about that. Can anyone tell me what they are and who made them? I have some more pics if needed.

TIA

I concur that the Cessna is a 150, not a 172. Different airplane (though a definite family resemblance). About 30 years ago I started trying to convert one of these to an L-19, just because there was nothing else available to start with. Just as I was nearing completion on it, OF COURSE someone released a very acceptable L-19 kit. Happens every time! :lol:

Alright then, the next time I wish someone would come out with a kit I'd like, I'll just have you start a conversion.  Thanks Snake.

That's how we finally got the AMT 1/48 A-20 Havoc. Friend of mine had just spent over a year working on a vacform when it was announced. :lol:

Also, y'all can thank me for the reissue of the Revell '66 Impala. I just bought a couple restorable promos and original glue bombs on eBay. :lol::lol: Oh well I think the AMT body is better shaped anyway.

Thank you all very much for the info. I know a good bit about military aircraft, but precious little about civilian planes. Your help is greatly appreciated.
