1/72 72-021 Ardpol Curtiss Twin JN - JN-5 Twin JN Model 1B
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Rare, very highly detailed resin model from 2002 features a full engine, very good cockpit and crew stations and more. Includes full decals & paint guide. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions (please note that the original aircraft were not marked, so no decals are needed or provided). The Twin JN (Model 1B) was designated JN-5 and was an enlargement of the new JN-4 model. The JN-5 was designed for twin-engine observation work. The wingspan was increased and a modified Curtiss R-4 fin was installed. Two counter-rotating Curtiss OXX-2 engines supplied power. The US Army acquired eight Twin JNs in 196 and early 1917. These were armed with 1 Lewis gun and saw service in the war against Pancho Villa.
