This is not one of my favourite aircraft, so will probably give this one a miss……..the Albatros W4 on the other hand……..

I'm happy to see this; the Jenny is (arguable) one of the more important aircraft from the time period.  Not just from the large number of pilots who trainer in one, but also how the post-war market was flooded with them resulting in the plane having a sizeable role in kickstarting civil aviation (at least in North America).

Ooh!  I love the Jenny.  I have several 1/72 kits to build, even an Ardpol Curtis twin Jen.  You large scale guys are really getting spoiled with all these new releases.

Absolutely outstanding to see. Although I'm not sure when I can afford one of these, I would absolutely love it - the Jenny is so quintessential it seems a crime we haven't had a new-tool kit for so long.

I humbly request that moves near the top of your To Build Pile Tim - I'd love to see a model of one!

I hope a Canadian marking  is included as well, the US markings are nice, but it needs to expand to other countries

Canadian markings would need a different kit, the JN-4(Canadian) had some differences with different shape of tailplane and alerions on both sets of wings

I've never been able to get worked up over this type, which is weird, since I'm half Curtiss on my mom's side. But I agree the twin Jenny was at least twice as interesting. The first time I saw a photo of one I thought it was a D.H.10.
