[WWI] Jenny Site

[Old Fokker]

The Lindberg kit of the Jenny is refuted to be one of the best offerings they did.  There's also the old 1/48 Renwal Jenny, but I've just seen the boxes - never the kit.

If you need a 1/48 OX-5, don't look for "engines and things"(?) for help.  I have their resin OX-5; it barks and goes on fire hydrants.  I also have the Model Expo kit Jim describes below, but haven't started it yet (I think the Camel will be ahead of it).  It's a very nice kit - something like a 22" wingspan.  The kit's designer, Ben Langford, also used to be a list member when he was working on it.

  I'm with you Mike. My "dream kit" is the Model Expo 1:16 scale uncovered Jenny. I have the kit. See:
  http://www.modelexpo-online.com/cgi-bin/sgin0101.exe 

  I'm currently building the Model Expo 1:16 scale uncovered Nieuport 28 as practice for the Jenny. I hear that the Jenny kit is a better kit than the Nieuport. But then a brick is a better kit than the Nieuport.

  <<I thing Denver Airport has green one hanging somewhere.>>

  Yes, I have photos. It was restored by a club here in Denver, some of whom I know personally.

  I also have tons of snapshots of a Jenny when it was being built by Roger Freeman in Texas. Some I took myself, some sent by a friend.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but the Jenny is one of my favorite planes. I think besides the Albatros and Sopwith cook-offs (what ever happened to them?)  there should be a site on the modeling pages devoted exclusively to the Jenny to celebrate this event - Photos(old ones and survivors), models, profiles, drawings, T-shirts (I had one, until my dog chewed it up), etc. I've got a number of photos from College Park and Silver Hill, Maryland, and at least one finished model I would contribute. Doug, you get back to Witcha Falls with your camera this instant! I thing Denver Airport has green one hanging somewhere. One used to visit College Park airport every Labor Day wekend (Hey! That's NOW!!!) What do you all think? How 'bout it, Allan?
