Dolf, very nice collection of aircrafts. The last one, I beleive, is Curtiss SON-1 Seagull.

Check two pictures. Second one - is exact prototype of your model, it has same number.

Andrew,

All right, thanks a lot

I thought it was a Curtiss, but was not sure and didn't feel like searching in those boxes for the building instructions (I believe I keep them all ). A Seagull, right, now it rings a bell

Thanks a lot for the pics and the ID

PS: Oh yes, the 2nd aircraft is indeed the same as my model, wow!

I believe the rear wheel is missing on my model and there is also another detail that doesn't match with the real one, a kind of "stick" that is between both left wings on my model but appears to be between the right wings on the real one.

Ok, time to watch a new episode of "Taken", I love alien stories

Many thanks!

This one, based in Algeria, on April 1941, was flown by Lieutenant Pierre Le Gloan.

It has the Ace mark on both sides, the long French flag behind the "6".

Le Gloan has the distinction of having shot down 5 biplanes in his total score - four Italian C.R. 42s and a British Gloster Gladiator. He was killed flying a P-39 with the Free French Air Force.
