Piper Cub J-3 airplane (static construction model - semi mock-up) in KIT version, laser-cut from 3 mm thick plywood for self-assembly. After assembling the model, we recommend painting with clear varnish (the dark color of the edges of the sides of the ribs and frames is the result of laser cutting, so before assembling the model you can sand these elements with the included sandpaper).

Did you know that:
In 1936, at the Taylor Aircraft Works in America, Walter Jamonueau developed an improved version of the E-2 airplane, which launched the Piper Cub family of aircraft. In 1937, the company's name was changed to Piper Aircraft and production was moved to a new plant in Lock Haven, where the Piper J-2 Cub was produced. The J-3 version was developed in 1938 and became the basic version of this aircraft. Popularity and increased production grew in 1939, when the U.S. government sponsored a war pilot training program. In 1941, the aircraft was inducted into the US Army Corps aviation and served there for many years. A total of 34849 were produced, including 1576 in the basic version, 20296 in the J-3 version, 2761 in the Coupe/Cruiser version and 10216 in the Super Cub version.
To this day, this magnificent machine, a legend of American aviation, can still be observed in the sky
