My warmest thanks to RyanShort1, who suggested this aircraft for my collection and offered me the model.
Here's the BIG Stinson, the first of the L-birds, the Stinson L-1 (ex O-49) Vigilant, first flown in 1940, inspired by the Fieseler Storch and built in 324 examples. Stinson L-1 Vigilant - Wikipedia The model (Murph'sModels) represents the ambulance version. To be consistent with the other models in my post concerning size and appearance, I've made 3 modifications: It's reduced to 1/72 scale, I redecorated the canopy and replaced the engine with a photo of the real thing but this is optional. I represented my model with the sunshades deployed in the greenhouse as seen on a photo in the Signal squadron on the L-birds. It's a good, fairly easy model, except for the assembly of the wing-greenhouse-fuselage section that deserves close attention. That's how I did it: I made the wing in one piece with the dihedral, then threaded it through the assembled greenhouse. Then I glued it to the fuselage. I have a little problem with the oil cooler. I think the piece is too small for the model. Isn't that right? |

Thank you!
Vaguely evoked in connection with the Husky, its improved successor, this is the Super Cub. The Piper PA-18 or Piper Super Cub is the worthy successor to the J-3. More spacious, more powerful, it replaced the J-3 from 1949 onwards and was a resounding success. Piper PA-18 Super Cub - Wikipedia Here are 3 Super Cubs, all Belgian and all glider tugs. One for the army, the other two for the renowned Saint Hubert gliding center. Centre National de Vol a Voile – N'en revez plus, volez! Fiddlersgreen models, the two civilians are redecorations from the "Maquettes en papier" forum. Le forum en papier - Page d’index |

Boubou, the moose, is my daughter's favorite stuffed animal.
Boubou the moose is an aviation enthusiast. He owns his own plane, a Druine Turbulent. He also owns a glider. Wishing to take part in the L-birds rally planned to commemorate June 6th 1944 and honor the memory of Canadian soldiers, he has just bought a superb Canadian Piper Cub which he has (barely) customized, see the Piper emblem on the tail. A DGA model. |
