1/72 NAF-19 Esoteric N3N-1 / 3 Yellow Peril - (N3N-1 / N3N-3) - Bagged
Vacuform Model Kit
Although the N3N looked similar to many biplanes of the day, it was a revolutionary design for the mid 1930s. The sturdy, all-metal construction allowed it to meet the '25 year service' requirement. In reality the aircraft served in the Navy up to 1961! It was the first aircraft soloed by thousands of naval aviators and many still continue to fly in civil service. It was designed and built by the government owned Naval Aircraft Factory at Philadelphia. This very high quality kit features optional parts for float or land based versions, cast metal details, detailed cockpit, extruded strut material and full color decals & paint guides for multiple aircraft. The molding quality of the white main airframe parts rivals or surpasses many injection molded kits. Never started. The small parts are still sealed in the factory bags; the parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete, with decals and all paperwork present. NOTE: you may find very neat, adult-written research notes on the instructions of this kit. The man who owned and built these models made them for museums so he was a meticulous researcher.
