Cool build and nice work. I've always liked bi-planes but building them with the upper and lower wings and struts a guy need 4 hands. Super cool.

Nice looking progress. Those old Lindberg kits can be a challenge with the struts. I remember struggling with the Stearman when I was 10 or so. The Aurora kits seemed easier.

This is not a Lindberg kit, it’s a Glencoe kit.

Got the other side done. I also installed the landing struts/wheels, tail skid, wing skids.Next the decals will go on before I glue the last bits - propeller and top wing wire thingys.
In the meantime, I started working on the old vintage Monogram P-38 Lightning kit. Will post pics at a later time.

Re: Glencoe 1/48 Curtiss Jenny JN-4D
As much as I enjoyed building the Jenny, she's a PITA working the top wings to the struts - even if they look slightly off center from my view looking from the top. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from here out.
