piper pa-18 super cub

The Piper PA-18 Super Cub was first introduced in 1949 and was produced until production ceased completely during the 1990's. Even so the Piper Cub is still available today, as a pre-fabricated kit for private aircraft construction. The L-18C Super Cub was the well known military (Army) version of the PA-18 and was used for instructing trainee pilots. Your Revell model comes with detailed wing surfaces, recessed panel lines, textured wing and fuselage fabric, open or closed cowl with full 4-cylinder engine, rotating propeller, and full interior cockpit detail. Authentic factory decals for civilian (two color choices) and L-18C #51-5339 U.S. Army versions are also included.
