The real subject

The Piper L-4 Cub was the military variant of the popular light civilian Piper Cub. During the Second World War it served for observation, for artillery spotting, for liaison and for courier duties. It was a simple high-wing aircraft with fixed landing gear and a glazed cockpit, valued for its ability to take off and land on short and improvised strips.

Building and painting tips

Clean up the small parts and the struts with particular care. Mask the glazed cockpit and glue it with cement for clear parts, so that it does not cloud. The typical olive military color sits better over a base coat; an airbrush and fine weathering are what works. Glue the plastic with liquid modeling cement. Paints and glue are not included in the package.

Who the model is for

  • anyone interested in light observation and liaison aircraft
  • fans of American equipment of the Second World War
  • modelers who enjoy the quiet build of a simple machine
  • collectors in the popular 1:48 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
