Model Forum / General / Models / July 2008jenny reissue!
lindberg has release their jn-4 kit. typically lindberg sparse in the cockpit, the outside is very well done and it isn't hard to scratch up some guts. they are very easy to rig, you can lay out a simple pattern, drill some holes and simply sew the rigging together. then you just trim of uneeded wires, touch up the holes and paint. aside from a lack of jn-4 kits, the best price of this one is it's 10 bucks! i've done 2 over the past week and wnat to pick up several more. while there is a floatplane, extra long wing version out there, it is way pricey. for about 1/3 the price, i can use the fsm article to make a great one. we don' need no steenkin hunnert dollar jennys!

Ray Rimmell of Windsock has reviewed it, calling it one of the best and most accurate WW1 kits, before the Eduard/Roden flood we're all enjoying. And this kit has made more comebacks than Cher. > And this kit has made more comebacks than Cher. Chrissakes don't insult the kit that way!

I like it, I just prefer a scale where I can fit a lot on a shelf.

No, it's from the print edition, about 20 years back. What surprises me is that no one's done a decal sheet. Blue Rider had a very handsome 1/72 sheet of Canadian/Texan training Jennies, a dozen or so. Not to mention the barnstorming Jennies, and why Lindberg hasn't done one of them instead of the same old Love Field USAS. They could copy the old Renwall Aeroskin Heddon Jenny paper sheet. http://www.heddonlures.com/he_aboutheddon.htm >On Jul 27, 12:42=EF=BF=BDam, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <a7590b42-1399-4853-b102-949a01895...@c65g2000hsa.googlegroups= [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >the old Renwall Aeroskin Heddon Jenny paper sheet. >http://www.heddonlures.com/he_aboutheddon.htm i'd love better decals. > On Jul 27, 12:42�am, some...@some.domain wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I ~think~ that the fact that this company is still in business is what led to the Renwal Haddon Jenny being pulled off the market rather quickly, some kind of copyright infringment? The Aeroskin Process© actually did work quite nicely, if you ignored Renwal's instructions and didn't us their liquid cement for more than tacking the paper to the model. Once it was attached, I used cear dope that I had on hand from a control-line kit. The dope shrunk the aeroskin and didn't attack the plastic underneath. Really worked nice on the pioneer aircraft models. Wish they would had offered more of them..... >> On Jul 27, 12:42=EF=BF=BDam, some...@some.domain wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] >on the pioneer aircraft models.

What a wonderful gesture; I'd never heard of that incident before. Do you have a web or book reference that might give more details?

Thanks. There's no great urgency. I've been trying Google but so far with no result.

Yeah, the N-9 floatplane you mentioned, the J and the model N (both predecessors of the JN, could probably swing a model R, the JN-5 (twin engined Jenny) and the N-8 (Long-winged Jenny) I also recall seeing a photo of a twin-fuselage Jenny (Jenny Zwilling?) oncet, although I don't have a copy currently. I did the N-8, the Model N and a Jenny barnstormer, the JN-5 is got me thinking...... >On Jul 26, 9:14=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> lindberg has release their jn-4 kit. typically lindberg sparse in the coc= [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >I did the N-8, the Model N and a Jenny barnstormer, the JN-5 is got me >thinking...... funstuff.
