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.

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.

If you are modelling in 1/48, then Model USA seems to have *exactly* the kit
and markings you are looking for.

I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

  If he's talking about a Super Cub, maybe he means L-18.

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.

Sorry should have specified.  This is a flying R/C model, .40 size
Golberg Anniversy Addition Piper Cub.  I am aware the bird dog was a
cessna but I feel that it I can make look pretty sharp with that scheme
regardless. Thanks

   Doing a Google, it seems the Super Cub was also called L-21. Didn't
look for the specs, tho.

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.
