Unknown Berliner-Joyce XFJ-2 - Wooden Aircraft Kit, 1/28, D-9
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Very rare 1930s large scale solid kit from an unknown kit manufacture. The kit number is D-9. The Berliner-Joyce XFJ-2 was the original XFJ with a cowling, Townend ring and a 500-hp R-1340-92 Wasp engine. Performance was very good, but ground handling was less than optimal. The Navy did reconsider the XFJ but decided on other aircraft instead. The aircraft was flown for a few years for various tests and scrapped. Evidently only one was ever made. The kit has minor assembly - the original owner began to rough out the fuselage in profile. The quality of work is good. There is no other assembly and the kit is complete with all wooden parts, fuselage templates, full size plans (very near 1/32 scale), original corked glass vials for glue and paint, turned wood wheels and bamboo.

Inter-Island Airways of Hawaii (later Hawaiian Airlines) bought three of the planes for Pan-Am and local Hawaiian island inter-island service.
