Model Airplane Factory, makers of hand made model aircraft, presents to you our Grumman J2F Duck Floatplane Wood Model Airplane. The J2F Duck Seaplane mahogany model airplane is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original Grumman J2F Duck Biplane aircraft. Our Duck J2F model airplane is a beautiful, handmade authentic replica, made from the very finest grade of select kiln-dried mahogany wood and painstakingly decorated by our skilled craftsmen. J2F Duck wooden display model has a wingspan of 16.7 inches, body length of 14.6 inches.
The Duck's main pontoon was part of the fuselage, making it a flying boat despite the similarity to a conventional landplane which has been float-equipped. Like the F4F Wildcat, its narrow-tracked landing gear was hand-cranked. The Grumman J2F Duck was a single-engine amphibious biplane. It was originally designated as the Grumman G-15. It was produced from 1933 to 1945. The aircraft was used by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard as utility aircraft for missions including mapping, rescue work, photography, and a target training.
