I have both seats assembled and attached to the cabin interior. Here's a few shots when I had one one. I am building the joy sticks out of toothpicks painted grey. Stay tuned to this spot.

Pete, we do not offer interiors for the Cub model, so I am very interested to see your model progress.

Here are a couple pictures of one of our liveries:


Piper donated 49 "Flitfire" J-3 Cubs to the RAF Benevolent Fund before US involvement in WWII. This was a civilian effort to support the British war effort. Some of the Flitfires are still flying.

Love the way your planes look. Thanks for sharing.

I should have fitted the cabin details into the fuselage before gluing it down. The fit wasn't quite there. Live and learn. I will continue with the build as it will prepare me for the next one.

Every build makes the next model better! Please continue sharing photos of this build, and the next.

I could start over but I am going to plow ahead forward with this one. I think the next time I build it I will remove the parts I have circled in order to get the windshield that I will add to line up better.
