About product

Piper J-3 Cub Over Europe 1:48 (SabreKits)

A kit of the small two-seat Piper J-3 Cub high-wing monoplane in 1:48 scale from the SabreKits brand. The boxing is thematically aimed at machines operated in Europe, which the subtitle in the name also indicates. The contents of the package, the number of parts and the number of color schemes offered are stated on the box.

The real subject

The Piper J-3 Cub is among the most widespread light aircraft of all. It is a two-seat high-wing monoplane with the seats in tandem, a welded tubular fuselage structure covered in fabric, a fixed landing gear with a tailwheel and a small flat engine of low power. The aircraft is marked by a short takeoff and landing run and a very low stalling speed, which made it a popular machine for training, for flying club use and for liaison and observation tasks in its military derived standard. Thanks to its simple design and long operational history, a modeler can meet it in civil and military colors of a number of countries.

Building and painting tips

A small aircraft in 1:48 scale means small parts and a lot of glazing, so it pays to try all the main parts dry first and only then to glue. Clean the parting lines and the gate remnants up carefully with a file or a sanding sponge. Choose the glue according to the material of the particular part: thin modeling cement for plastic parts, superglue for any resin or metal extras. Finish and paint the cockpit interior and the fuselage frame before the fuselage is closed up, because the inside is visible through the glazing. Use a primer before painting, prepare a gloss base for the decals and secure the finished model with a matte or semi-gloss clear coat according to the character of the subject.

Who the model is for

  • For modelers who collect light and sporting aircraft in 1:48 scale.
  • For anyone interested in aircraft with fabric covering and a classic tubular structure.
  • For builders of small display case models, where it does not take up much room.
  • For those looking for a quicker build between more demanding projects.

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

FAQ

No. This is a kit, which is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package.

Both the number of parts and the number of schemes offered are stated on the box.

The subject is simple in design and the model is small, but working with small parts and glazing calls for patience. It suits a modeler who already has a first build behind him.

Thin modeling cement for plastic on the plastic parts. If the package contains resin or metal parts, glue them with superglue.
