Northern Model Show 2011

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

My first thought was maybe a Commonwealth Warraway or a Vultee Vengeance, but it doesn't look it.

Unfortunately aircraft are not my forte so I honestly couldn't say.....wish I'd took shots from a variety of angles now

It didn't serve with any of the three squadrons Jim listed, but the closest match I can find so far is the Miles Martinet target tug and trainer.

Thanks for posting those fine pics of beautiful made models.

It made me remember, when I was younger and modelbuilding was one of my favorite.

those models I prefered was

1 AVRO Lancaster
2 F-15
3 F-14
4 Spitfire
5 F-18
And a few more.

Later on I got more into building military ships especially 1:350 or 1:250 scale ships from WWII and America.

My favorite was
New Jersey
Missouri
Bismarch
and som more I can't remember the name

I've tried to build, tanks lorry a.s.o, but that's wasn't me.

You know I reckon you could be spot on....save this image to desktop and magnify it (I use IrfanView).

Nice shots and models mate. I take it you didn't enter anything?

The diorama represents the planes making a fuel stop at Seward, Alaska in April 1924. The people were all converted from flight figures, and include a soldier strolling with his girl and the crew of a fishing boat who came out to see the planes.



The second picture is a close-up of the boat and crew. What you can't see is the detail, most wonderful of which is the cards laid out on the boat's galley table, left there when the players heard the planes landing.



I just wish there were pictures I could show of all those details.

jesus. that alot of models. great work too.

Tigers, panthers, panzers, Some Flakpanzer Ostwinds, half-tracks, Corsairs, mustangs, F-16s, i think i saw an M1 Abrams, hurricanes, spitfires, German tri-planes, bi-planes, Surveilance aircraft, neat bombers, panzerkamfwagens, STuGs, T-34s, shermans, BF109s, FW-190s, A-10 warthogs, harriers, I think i saw a Leopald, Panzer IVs, jeeps, Japanese Zeros,Japanese Oscars, Pershing tanks, Stukas, beauteous destroyers and heavy cruisers.

Yeah, im a military nerd. I can tell from first glance what each of these are. Some new modern jets i havent seen though. I do, have a huge poster that my uncle gave me hanging above my bed with some of the biggest and baddest modern jets from all parts of the world.


edit: how could i forget to mention the KING tigers, South Dakota battleship, Buffalos, Apache Attack heli, Catalinas, APCs, Priests, and the best of all, the reason were all here, the VII class subs and beautiful nuclear subs. I dont think i saw an I-400 though.

It's funny you should say that because the guy who was showing the submarines definitely had one on the table iirc....looks like I didn't take a shot
