yeah, from guess who.... thier jenny, which is eminently suited to super detail and the merrimac monitor pair. two different scales but another childhood kit i want to revisit. i never built the bald eagle or nantucket light ship, but they look like fun. > yeah, from guess who.... > thier jenny, which is eminently suited to super detail > and the merrimac monitor pair. two different scales but another childhood kit > i want to revisit. > The Jenny is a lot of fun; nice little kit.

With the Jenny being reissued, I might just built the twin-engined variant of 1918. The type was used briefly as a mailplane, but was originally envisioned as a tactical bomber from what I've read. I used a pair of kits some years ago to replicate the N-8, basicly a long-winged Jenny by adding an extra bay to the wings and making some tweaks. I read somewhere that either the Model N (another conversion) or the N-8 were used by Pershing's forces in Mexico, making that aircraft America's first true "Warplane". >On Feb 14, 1:42=A0am, some...@some.domain wrote: >> yeah, from guess who....

If memory serves, you'll have a ~lot~ of tweaking to do; although both aircraft looked similar, there were considerable differences between them. >On Feb 14, 11:53=A0am, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <7e96ffe5-006f-4b01-abd0-cd6743cf0...@s19g2000prg.googlegroups.= [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >tweaking to do; although both aircraft looked similar, there were >considerable differences between them. yes, quite a challenge but there is a good online build to aid me. i need to jenny's and an se5 kit. all lindberg's, so it won't be hugely expensive. the se5 has the correct motor. it will be pushing the limits of my current skills and should sharpen them.

According to one of my references, the N-9 used an OX-6 (the JN-4D using an OX-5). The SE5a used a Wolseley W.4a Viper. However I DON'T know the differences or similarities between that engine and the OX-6. Where is the online site? It sounds like an interesting build. >On Feb 14, 7:35=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <994cc5bb-d509-473b-8bfa-6467081d0...@h11g2000prf.googlegroups.= [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] >engine and the OX-6. >Where is the online site?

I was in a strange mood last night and I was making a jocular reference to last year's debate here about the name(s). Must have swallowed a feather...
