About product

Piper L-4 Cub Post War Service (1:48, Special Hobby)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the light high-wing aircraft Piper L-4 Cub in 1:48 scale from Special Hobby. The Post War Service release concentrates on machines operated after the Second World War in European countries, with a matching decal sheet for several interesting examples. We recommend checking the exact contents of the package and the number of schemes for this item against the particular box.

The real subject

The Piper L-4 Cub is the military version of the popular civilian light aircraft Piper J-3 Cub. It was a simple two-seat high-wing machine with fabric covering and a small piston engine, which during the war proved itself as a liaison, observation and reconnaissance aircraft and for directing artillery fire. After the war many of these aircraft passed into civilian hands and to other operators all over Europe, where they flew as trainers and recreational machines.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin modeling cement for plastic, fit the small cabin glazing carefully and use masks if need be. It pays to paint and shade the interior with its tubular structure before closing up the fuselage. Accentuate the fabric covering of the wings and the fuselage gently with a wash in the panel lines, but do not overdo the wear — light soiling looks more realistic.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of light liaison and observation aircraft
  • Collectors of postwar civilian and military aviation
  • Modelers with experience of smaller kits in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in European operators of Cub aircraft

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