This is an injection-plastic airliner model kit.
The Piper Super Cub made its debut in 1949, and it's become a best-seller for them with a production volume of about 10,000 units. It's been adopted for civilian use and also by armed forces around the world; it has achieved notable success as a bush plane, used for air transportation to remote or underdeveloped locations. It's cheaper than its rival Cessna, and its high reliability and economy has made it a highly popular light aircraft worldwide.
Bush planes are equipped with different landing gear depending on their circumstances, and can be easily fitted with balloon tires for uneven surfaces, or skis for snow. This model kit from Minicraft includes new parts for wheels for soft ground and skis for snowy environments; its horizontally opposed 4-cylinder Lycoming engine is reproduced in great detail, as is the interior, from the seats and floor to the instrument panel and control sticks. Decals by Cartograf are included with registration numbers for the U.S. and Canada. Add this useful little aircraft to your lineup today!
