1/48 C-34 StromBecker Piper Cub Super Cruiser - Piper PA-12 / J-5
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Rare 1/48 scale model of the seldom-seen Super Cruiser. This kit is from the 1950s. StromBecker was famous for this line of precarved hardwood kits. The parts are all top-quality hardwood - no balsa. Builds to an impressive display model. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: the back of the rudder is broken off and missing. However, this or even a completely new rudder is very easily made from the full-size template on the instructions. There is even enough spare wood for one. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacturer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are precarved to shape - you only had to glue, sand and paint to finish them.
