FG J3 Piper Cub, 1/200

I have seen a mini piper here Mini Piper J3 and asked how it would look like at the scale of 1/200. This question, asked months ago, would only be best answered by making one myself. Or rather two, to be exact, one on wheels and the other on floats. They are both from FG, originally at about 1/46. Photos taken with my smartphone.

Beautiful work papermate, very detailed for such a small scale. Did you have to any repainting?

Thanks,
Gary

Beautiful job. The FG J3 was the first paper model I ever put together. You did a much better job. In fact, I had to re-do mine three times before I was anywhere near happy with it. But you've inspired me. I think I'll give it another go, but at full size.

Thanks guys.

Gary, that's very observant of you. I did change a little bit - the serial numbers on the wings and both sides of the fuselage.

Vermin King, thanks for your encouragement.

Matthew, thank you, just don't give up, and you'll get better and better the second time, the third ....... sometimes I have to do it over and over again to get it done, too.

Garland, thanks for liking it. Why no? Give it a go again, no matter what size, just have fun and enjoy the result. Hope to see your work on the cub.
