Nexa L-19 Bird Dog Grey 1720mm (67.8″) Wingspan – ARF

L-19 Bird Dog Grey 1720mm (67.8″) Wingspan – ARF from Nexa – NXA1043-001

The L-19 Bird Dog is a liaison and observation aircraft and was the first all-metal fixed-wing aircraft in the United States Army. The name was chosen because it’s role was to find the enemy and orbit overhead until artillery or attack planes could be brought to bear. While flying low to the battlefield, the pilot would observe the attack and radio for adjustments, in the manner of a bird dog used by game hunters. The Bird Dog had a lengthy military career in the U.S. and other countries.

The brand new Nexa L-19 Bird Dog was recently developed and now available for the first time. This Nexa L-19 can be built with either electric or gas power and has a large hatch for easy access to either. This L-19 is absolutely full of exceptional scale details such as a working pilot door. Our words cannot do this plane justice. This L-19 would make a great addition to any hangar.
