It is an ARF kit or a stick kit? If it's an ARF, do you know the wingspan or wing half span if it's a two-piece wing? How wide is the fuselage body. If you know total wingspan, that will eliminate a lot of kits and help you zero in on what you've got there.

Could you take a picture of side of the fuselage on your kit showing where the wing support tube is inserted? Also, take a picture of the ailerons and flap surfaces, if it has flaps. Does it have corrugation details molded in or they just plain flat surfaces. Those are the key areas I used to identify my unknown cub a week or two ago. The guy I bought it from said it was a Hangar 9, but it didn't look right to me. I used their instruction manual to exclude it as a Hangar 9 and used pictures on the internet, mostly from this forum, to identify which manufacturer it was. It ended up being a Dave Patrick Super Cub.

If you could post some pictures of the kit pieces, I might be able to help you identify it. I'm fresh off the hunt: I looked at Cub model kits for a day and half straight trying to find out what mine was!
