Quick Links

The Piper PA-18 Super Cub was first
introduced in 1949 and was produced
until production ceased completely dur-
ing 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,
panel lines, textured wing and fuse-
lage fabric, open or closed cowl with
full 4-cylinder engine, rotating pro-
peller, and full interior cockpit detail.
Authentic factory decals for civilian

* Pour une meilleure prise de la peinture et des autocollants,
laver les pièces en plastique avec une solution détergente
