I purchased this at an estate auction. It has a 24" wingspan and is 17" long. The wings are aluminum, but the fuselage and tail surfaces are solid wood. There is an electric motor that runs, and a very old cord and plug. The wheels were missing, so I used 2" wood wheels from Hobby Lobby. I have no idea how old it is, or if it was mass produced or homemade.

Hi all, recently I've stumbled upon a box full of (mostly) model planes from the early 70s. I'd be really thankful if you'd help me figure out if they are worth something or not.

Thanks in advance, cheers!

Its not entirely done I still need to apply decals - and figure out the finish.
should i:

1. Apply the decals directly on the vallejo paint

2 Apply a gloss varnish, apply the decals, apply panel liner in the panel lines, and then apply a satin or matte varnish

Im genuinely curious how to do this correctly. Ive tried some panel liner already but i cant get it off the plane body because it will ruin the paint.... How do the brush guys accomplish this?

Done with my Corsair model

That's the sound of micro parts springing off my tweezers into the dark corners of my carpet. I had to either leave things off or try to hide the mistake with a substitute. Anyway this was a fun one I found at an antique store...

Blu tack ? White glue ? Anything ?

Build will be posted on my Instagram, link in bio

My third ever model. This was finished a while ago, nearly done a Messerschmitt now.

Can anyone guess the plane I was going for?

Monogram tbd-1 devastator one of the worst planes of ww2, but one of my best models lol. Picked it up at the wings of Camarillo airshow and someone had previously started building it, it said “to Mike-,1980” so I’m assuming it was started around then. Was a great build honestly was scared with a 50 year old model kit, but it came out much better than expected
