1/50 - Piper J-3 Cub by Sabrekits (modified Heller plastic L-4 kit) - released

[Homebee]

Sabrekits is to release a 1/48th - in fact 1/50th ! - Piper J-3 Cub kit based on the vintage (1979) but modified original 1/50th Heller L-4 kit.

Not sure that good broth may be made in an old pot.

"So here we have the first ′′ our ′′ model. Heller molds / Direction will be added with new clear parts from our metal form. This is how the original L-4 becomes its predecessor type Piper J 3 Cub. The paradox of the kit is certainly an interior, which, although reported as L-4, is actually the interior of J 3 and you have to change it if you want to build L-4. It made our job a lot easier. They will most likely be in the mask model and it looks like the model will be able to make it to the pre-Christmas market this year. Both are agreed, but we also take it with a question mark. After our first metal form model (1/72, World War II) was supposed to be on sale in September and now it looks like March, we are afraid to claim anything for sure."

I like the various markings that will come with the kit. It's tempting!

So we have the first test prints of the Piper J3 cabin. The metal form cost majland and a few pieces of the stall will come out . But Heller / Direction plastic fits like a mug bottom. So 4.1. the first printouts from only slightly tweaked form will start to fall and by 10.1. all three boxes will be on the shelves.

So our forecasts were very optimistic. Again. Again. The launch of our Piper J-3 is moving to mid-February. The reason is the production of a new metal form.
