Hi Guys! I am still working on the rear door module and about to start the roof.I sure will be glad to get back to building the Jenny itself after all this other stuff.I have about 90% of the first Jenny, a Jenny Canuck, finished.The 2nd Jenny ,the basketcase JN4D,I will build this coming Winter.The plan right now is to have it being stripped down to supply parts for the Canuck.Some parts will therefore be missing,in the workshop or in storage.I plan to have the major wing and tail surfaces in various states of disrepair but still recognizable as coming from a JN4D as one of my purposes in doing this diorama was to show the various differences between the 2 versions.The Canuck is a barnstormer and the JN4D ex-military.I plan to have a lot of fun weathering the old JN4D with faded colors and torn fabric.The museum plans to use this diorama for educational purposes so the more interesting I can make it the better.

I hope that you guys here on the drome dont mind if some of this sounds a little repetitive but I am sharing these articles with a few other websites.

While the ARC forums are down,if anyone here was following the story of the re-build of the Travel Air D4D back in the 1960s I have now continued it over on;

The above pic was taken with just the internal lights turned on.The wheels were painted red to give the scene life, as well as for color harmony with the green window trim.The mechanic is checking for oil leaks.
