Help ID this Plane: DeHavilland Albatross

Hello all!

I was given this by a buddy because he knew I collected WWII stuff. (He actually asked me to sell it for him) He claimed he got it from an estate of a WWII vet. However, I cannot ID this plane! It has the tail like a B-24 and a nose like a C-47. It has to be a model of a real plane since a lot of work went into making it! I assume it is a US plane, but I checked other countries aircraft as well.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks-Jeff

Yep, that one is closer than the others I looked at....only thing majorly different in the Constellation has a center tail/rudder.

If you have access to William Green's book, The Warplanes of the Third Reich, look up the Junkers 290. The V-models and pre-production designs are fairly close (Page 504). However, the very tail end of your model is different as is the sweep of the tailplanes. Personally, I think you have a well made model of an imaginary aircraft. Nothing wrong with that; it still looks cool!

I think your aircraft is actually a DeHavilland Albatross.

Uhmm, on second thought, go with what he said!
