Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Wow what a unique looking variant of a normal looking plane. You must have had to climb through the starboard fuselage to get into the port side ? As i dont see a door cut into the port side and pipers were right hand doors only.

Nope, despite it was intended to be four seater, due the increased wing loading , was used as two seater, using starboard fuselage only . After some 150 hours of testing, whole "thing" was dismantled and again converted to two regular Piper Cubs, PA-11 and J-3-65. This Revell build is in fact, part of publication i work on , about Wagner Twin Piper , with brief history of Wagner TWIN Cub, tech data, history photos, scale drawings, paint schemes and details how to convert and build this Piper Bomber in 1/32 scale from two Revell Piper Super Cub kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelT Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 What a great job. You've made a fantastic looking model there but it just looks plain weird. I struggled to take my eyes off that first photo it just kinda bends the mind a little, a flying push-me-pull-you almost. What an interesting subject and a great aircraft to have on display.
