Q.  What to do when you can't go out -

 

A.  Finish up and old model that's been languishing on the shelf for the past 10 years....

 This is a model of a Curtiss JN4 in 1/48 scale.  Affectionately known as the Curtiss 'Jenny' the JN4 was widely used as a trainer for WW1 allied pilots.  It was said that in a strong headwind they'd actually go backwards.  But they were reliable and easy to repair being almost entirely made of wood.

 

More to come as I continue with repairs and refurbishment.

 

Monday March 30th,  here is the finished product, (at least 10 years after starting)
