LULZ! Would actually help if I were looking at the right plane.

It's just gone 8 o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode.

Well done Steve

, quite clearly that's the one now.

My only question is -

Just how tall is the guy at the rear cockpit????

AVGWarhawk · 07-12-11, 08:01 AM

Also note the bent wing like the corsair has.

Just had a response from my aircraft forum and apparently it is a model of a Bristol 148

Some pictures here:

Looking at the picture Steve post I reckon you could still argue it isn't a Bristol 148 at all

I (edit - was going to) respectfully disagree with them. (and then I saw the tailwheel!)

I'd just put it down to the SIG merging all the aforementioned aircraft together like their AWACS/VC10 mash-up.

The shape of the tail certainly matches that of the Bristol, so I think you're right. And the guy who built it should know.

I wouldn't like to make a call either way on what it is Steve but as you rightfully said "the guy who built it should know"....so I'm calling it a draw, two people are correct because for the life of me you both know better than me
