darksidesw Posted July 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atb Posted July 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2015 An out of proportion and somewhat inaccurate Lockheed Constellation is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidesw Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted July 12, 2015 Yep, that one is closer than the others I looked at....only thing majorly different in the Constellation has a center tail/rudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Z Posted July 12, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 12, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted July 12, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2015 I think your aircraft is actually a DeHavilland Albatross. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
