About product

J-3 Cub Goes to War 1:48 (Special Hobby)

This kit in 1:48 scale captures the Piper J-3 Cub light liaison and observation aircraft in military service. It is an injection-molded plastic model from the Czech manufacturer Special Hobby with a clear part for the glazing and a decal sheet for several machines. It is a short-run kit, which will reward a more careful approach.

The real subject

The Piper J-3 Cub was a simple two-seat high-wing monoplane with tandem seating that proved itself during and after the Second World War as a liaison, observation and training aircraft. Thanks to its low speed and its ability to operate from improvised strips, it served for artillery spotting and for courier and liaison tasks.

Building and painting tips

With a short-run kit, clean up the parting lines and keep checking the fit of the parts. Finish the richly glazed cabin with its internal structure before closing the fuselage up, and mask it carefully. Use a primer and an airbrush; set the matte military schemes and the fabric surfaces apart in both shade and texture.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of light liaison and observation aircraft
  • More experienced modelers used to short-run kits
  • Anyone interested in aircraft in military service in the Second World War

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