1/16 Curtiss JN-4D Jenny 1917

Description

This is an aircraft model kit assembled from parts made of wood, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.

From the item’s packaging:

The Curtiss Jenny was developed by combining the best features of the Curtiss J and N models. A 1915 version, the JN-3 was modified in 1916 and re-designated as the JN-4. With America’s entry into WWI on April 6, 1917, the Signal Corps ordered large quantities of JN-4s. By the time production stopped after the Armistice, more than 6,000 had been delivered, the majority of them JN-4D.
