The Plane ..


The plane is a loving recreation of an early bi-plane from the period just after the Great War.
These planes look amazing to the modern viewer. The complicated connections of fabric wings, metal and wooden struts and, for this model, the authentic floats on the bottom, which were used to land the plane on rivers and lakes, add together to make this model airplane a classic model. People used these planes to wing-walk, and to perform amazing stunts for their paying passengers and onlookers.
Just like the original planes, this kid’s toys model kit is made using the same materials as the early versions – fabric, metal and wood throughout. The fuselage is lovingly painted with an original British design and has the markings JN-7H on the underside of the wings, just like the real thing!
