I was Googling details about the Cherokee while recoloring, and came across Pussy Galore's Flying Circus in the movie Goldfinger. Since one of my recolors had a very similar scheme, I went ahead and did 2 of the 5 aircraft closest to the PA-28-140.
Just added the new file to my Cherokee folder in our downloads area, enjoy!

My excuse for coming in second is I had to find wheel pants graphics I could borrow for the Philippine versions. I ended up using wheel pants from Tak Nagasawa's Cessna C172 (which I didn't use for my Cessna C172 recolors).
My suggestion is use the struts but lose the wheels, and laminate the layers in this sequence: long colored, short, medium, short, long, long, short, medium, short, long colored to get something resembling a streamlined shape. Plus this will make the landing gear stiff enough to hold up the plane.
I found 3 civilian examples of Philippine PA-28-140s with useful photos, so those are in the file (which I've also added to our downloads section). Others were bigger engined, or retract versions. I increased the scale to 1:72, but if you want 1:100 just print out 2 pages per sheet. Enjoy!
