Hi Guys
I`m starting a new project in the 1:48 sacle. It is a high wing trainer very similar to the famous Piper CUB. It were manufactured by Neiva aircraft company in the 50`s and 60`s. The Neiva company is now a subsidiary of EMBRAER.
Here are some pics of the real aircraft and the beginning of the construction:
