Default NEED HELP IDENTIFYING A PLANE

I just picked a 1/3 scale Cub. I was told that it was a Balsa USA, but it's smaller than than a B.Usa. The wing span is 130" versus 140 on the B.USA. and the wing spars and the cockpit area look different. I need to find a new cowling and window set. You guys got any ideas ? trying to put in some pics. can some one tell how the put in pics?

Just below this message and on the left is the 'Post Reply' button. Press it, a text box appears and beneath it is a 'Click here to upload images and files' button. Press it and follow the directions. Press each button once, they may be slow. <div>

That looks like a Modeltech Cub. I think Hobby People carry them.
