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.
