Nice nice nice!

I like the floats & boats pictures.

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?"

LOL....older than both of us I suspect but true none the less

There's a lot more to come...some of the dioramas and subs are really cool

Nice IDF armor models with merkava variants.
Sooo many phantoms

AVGWarhawk · 07-10-11, 08:06 PM

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.

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

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

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

I doubt it was 1654 Squadron

http://www.raf-lincolnshire.info/1654hcu/1654hcu.htm

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.

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