Mondvor Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited July 30, 2006 by Mondvor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolf Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) 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 Dolf 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!

He was killed flying a P-39 with the Free French Air Force. Edited August 3, 2006 by Michael Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
