    Piper Cub L4.........1/48........Mistercraft

    Put a bit of time into this at the end just to get it off the bench......or in the bin!

    Bad bits.......stupid 4 piece canopy thats hard to put together.....and the wings attach to it!.........fragile decals......vague locating points for everything........vague instructions........warped fuselage/wings/struts/most things

    Good bits.......erm......erm......its was cheap

    Value for money?.......jeez no!

    Would i do another Mistercraft kit?.....highly doubt it

    Any one who fancies doing this kit my advice is dont bother

        That is one small model to work on Paul. Nice one but I think I will follow your advice and stay well clear.
