Anniversary Cub 1/5 Scale Kit- SIGRC82

In celebration of our Golden Anniversary, we are ecstatic to introduce the latest addition to our line of high quality Build It Yourself airplane kits: the 1/5 Scale J-3 Piper Cub. We've put everything we've learned about model airplanes into this special kit: scale details, SIG laser cut parts, full size plans, a comprehensive instruction booklet. All the features you've come to expect from SIG.
Then we added a little something special. The new 1/5 Scale J-3 Piper Cub is so real, you may have a hard time separating it from the 1930's full size airplane. All the details are there including a working side door and window, dummy engine cowls with "eyebrows", scale-like wire landing gear, a fully detailed instrument panel... even the realistic "bird's eye-view" window on top of the cabin. Add in a full decal sheet including Cub lightning bolts and you have a Cub standing far above the rest.
