Thanks for the review Felix! Good to see that the A model kits gain in quality. I have tried several but always got too frustrated, to finish one.
Just now it struck me: this is the short body version, I thought that only the stretched (CBS-) version was released! Are they actually two different kits or do we just have to fake the stretch by putting an extra window behind the rear doors?

Gertjan, if you have a close comparative look, the sprues with the fuselage halves are different. The fuselage of the CBS version is actually longer as well as the cabin floor.
Certainly Amodel gains in quality but don't forget that it's still short run production. Some extra work will defenitely be necessary.
A comparison with the (quite correct) drawings offered by the German "ModellFan" magazine articles in June and July 1980 will reveal some minor inaccuracies in the measurements which IHMO won't have a big impact on the general appearance of the model. In particular, the fuselage length on the model is more like 1:74.
I'm quite curious when we will be able to see the first kit finished.

Thank you Felix, I have only seen pics of the military version.
1:74??? Omg, and I thought 1:72 for a Bo- 105 was already miscroscopic! 😉

About the Spanish option, the skids are different, many antennae are missing as well as the intake on the engine's right side. ET-140 is conserved at Cuatro Vientos Air Museum
