That tracing was unfortunately the inside of the pattern. I wished I had traced both sides. Looking at your attachment now.

I'm only guessing here but I believe the plywood is too large. In the photo below there is a flange that the rear window fits into, I would image the fabric was glued to the flange and glued into the flange as well, than a reinforcing tape was applied on top the fabric over the the flange. Section G-G in the attached pdf shows the details of the full scale.

Great find!

I’m guessing the fuselage in the photo is J-3 or PA-18 where the drawing may be the military version with more glass all around.

Not sure of the manufacturing date. In '23 I guess.

I sprayed several year old stuff on the Super Cub last year, possibly 10 years old. Came out great.

Thank you both!

I won’t throw anything out just yet, but will try to use the various products and report back. It’s not like a full-scale which needs to be out in the harsh elements, the models will rarely leave the cozy workshop :)

When you open the lid, you will know whether or not to throw it away! The paint for the Super Cub was purchased in 2008, worked just fine in 2024!

Thanks! I was looking back at my orders on Stits.com and have a mix. Some in 2017 and others in 2021. Wish everyone’s website had this cool feature!

Depending upon who mixes it the dates and labels appear differently. Apparently I’ve ordered from both Consolidated and F&M Enterprises aka Stits.com in the past.

Woke up in the middle of the night realizing I can do a tracing of the window frame and transfer the pattern to the fabric….

Gotta love those little ah ha moments. It's usually right before I go to bed.... then I cannot sleep... maybe i need to write it on my arm LOL.
I've been trying to figure out a hoist system and I think I may have actually done it... stay tuned there!
