Nice nice nice! :sunny:

I like the floats & boats pictures. :rock:

The "models" jokes remind me of a personal story. Back in '78 I was working at a local hobby shop. When I told a friend I had a job at Douglas Models his immediate response was "Cool! Can you get me a date?"

What is that plane on the left in the 9th picture?
British markings UG squdron code.

I like the simple ship diarama and, the WWII German search plane on the catapult, with looks like builder made and an excellent job too. :yep:

There are lots more to come just as soon as I can downsize and convert them them to jpeg format.

There are a few 'unbelievable' dioramas and one guy had a table with many different submarine models 'outstanding'.

You've got me there....it looks a little like a Fairey Battle perhaps?

UG was the squadron code used by 16, 310 and 1654 Squadrons during the war http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAF_Squadron_Codes

This link will explain what aircraft used....typically no Fairey Battle :doh:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._16_Squadron_RAF

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._310_Squadron_RAF

I doubt it was 1654 Squadron

I appreciate it doesn't help identify the aircraft type but the model builder may have attached historically innacurate decals.

The F-4 looks to be a fan favorite for model makers. It is a nice plane to build. So many different color schemes from country to country that used this aircraft.

Jimbuna 07-11-11 09:58 AM

Yes thare were probably more 'Rhino's' than any other make come to think of it.

Some subs next.

The front 3/4 looks more like a Grumman Avenger, but then the rear fuselage lets that theory down. :nope:

It looks like variant of At-6 Texan?
Some sort of training plane i think.
