scvrobeson Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Very glossy finish. Looks splendid in bright yellow Matt Zero77 1
Guest Peterpools Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Nicolas One gorgeous Super Cub ... but aren't they all. Of course, I can honestly say, in all the hours I flew J3's none looked as good. Keep 'em coming Peter
John F Smith Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Really outstanding work! So glad to see a build of this kit. I've got the balloon tire version and I'm really looking forward to building it. John Zero77 1
Radders Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Looks great! I really want to build a Cub, but a wheeled version. This is really tempting me.. Zero77 1
Youngtiger1 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks ! I also have the bushwheels version which has an alaska state trooper scheme, and i love it ! Floats or balloon tyres Super Cubs are just the perfect aircraft for alaska. Your right about that. I hope someday we'll see your Alaskan State Troopers cub Btw, this is looking real nice. The paint job looks fabulous Mike Zero77 1
Wouter Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Curse you! Now I want to build one. What a lovely build! Zero77 1
Highlandsniper Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Between us, my son and I have all three versions of the Revell Cub - it's a beautiful little kit with great super-detailling possibilities. I recently picked up the bush-tyres version for £9 in a local closing-down sale. Zero77 and Out2gtcha 2
Ironwing Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 This build should make everybody here want to build a cub on floats... just beautiful Geoff Wouter and Fooesboy 2
Zero77 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 A small update on this one ! The end is finally coming, and i long for it ! I need more space on my bench to work other builds, and it's getting dust all over. I started to assemble the last smallest parts and details and also started installing the rigging and control cables. This little bird is so fragile that one has to be very careful to avoid breaking something. Gluing the tail planes was tricky to get them straight. They are hold only by small plastic rod. That's not strong at all. I hope i wont break them later... The wing struts were also tricky to install cleanly. Especially as the left one was a tad too long and so once glued it was bent, so i had to modify it, while half glued on the model. I held my breath... The rear control cables, and i also started to make the rigging (i did not finished as the tail planes assembly was not cured). Small details on the underside : Reinforcement brackets on the rear float struts : rafju and Hubert Boillot 2

LSP_Kevin Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 That looks great, Nicolas! Kev Zero77 and Out2gtcha 2
Out2gtcha Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 That looks great, Nicolas! Kev X2!!! Fabulous work Nicolas! Did the floats come with the raised rivets like that too (cant remember on mine) or did you add some Archer/Microscale raised rivets? Zero77 1
Zero77 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks guys ! The floats have the raised rivets moulded in. That's a very nice detail, but no sanding allowed !
