L4 grasshopper 1/48
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 30, 2004 4:32 PM
I have a Hobbycraft kit of this and wondered if anyone knew of any aftermarket detail kits available for it?

I also understand there was a review in FSM magazine but I'm not sure when it came out?

TIA

I dunno if anyone makes detail sets for the L-4 or not; my guess is nada, although I haven't had occasion to look for any myself. A quick search on several online sources yields nothing.

I also looked for some reviews but all I found is a kit preview which wouldn't help you much and a photo feature of Randy Lutz's NE-1. (USN L-4) This isn't a kit review; there's a few photos and a listing of what he did to the model, but no basic construction notes. However, there is a mail link, and I'm sure you could give Randy a hollar and ask him for some guidance. I don't really know the guy too well, but he's always been an accomodating fella in answering questions at shows and such, so it wouldn't hurt to email him.

Piper NE-1 Cub

Here's a link to a page dealing with L-4's and Piper Cubs on the Kiwi Aircraft Images site. Some of what's in the detail shots is not original equipment that you'd have found on period L-4's, but there are some photos here which may be of use to you. And, in any case, it's just neat to look at this stuff!

Wish I had more for you...

Thanks for the info Wolf.

Randy's Piper on Hyperscale is great and the detail shots at Kiwi aircraft images will help!

I'll keep hunting.
