Hello, I bought a piper cub with the intention of making it into a L-19 bird dog. I want to do it in an Air Force Gray scheme with maybe a shark mouth on the front. Does anyone know where I can get some photos of the recon plane with this kind of scheme? Thank a lot.
If you are modelling in 1/48, then Model USA seems to have *exactly* the kit and markings you are looking for.
Unless you're talking of a 'what-if' scheme I think you should know that the Cub was an L-4 not an L-19. Piper built the Cub and Cessna the L-19.

That's gonna be a Helluva conversion project! :)

The Super Cub would be the L-21, no?
Cheers,
Yes. The L-18 was the L-4 fixed up for MSP. There were at least 460 of them refurbished as L-18Cs.

Also, the L-19 was a much later design, all metal, larger engine, and designed many years after the Cub/L-4. In fact, I think the L-19 missed service in WW2 and saw its service in Korea.
Doing a Google, it seems the Super Cub was also called L-21. Didn't look for the specs, tho.
