The popular Curtiss JN-4 Jenny is a two-seat trainer that was used during World War I on both sides of the Atlantic in large numbers and became one of the best known airplanes ever to be built.. The nickname "Jenny", derived from the designation, applies collectively to all variants, although it most often conjures up a picture of the JN-4 models, of which more than 6,440 were built. The "Jenny" actually originated in England, where B.D. Thomas of the Sopwith Company drew up a design known as the Type J to a Curtiss specification. This was later blended in America, with the Curtiss's own Type N, the resultant prototype being known as the JN. First production model was the JN-2, the small number produced including 10 for the U.S. Army.
Just over 100 examples followed of the improved JH-3, most of these were for the R.N.A.S., which received 97. The JN-4 series appeared in 1916 and its most significant difference from earlier "Jennies" was the replacement of the former "Derperdussin" method (of separate controls for the rudder and elevators) by a single stick control. These changes were made at the request of the British Authorities.
We have chosen the scale of 1:5 rendering a model size that is easy to fly but also relatively easy to transport. Both the upper and the lower wing panels can be removed as an assembly, for transportation which gives relatively limited requirement for transportation size.
The finished model is painted in 1916 livery and further detailing can be made as per documentation. |
