Allready being modelled ! ... http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/modeling/color-pics-model-im-building-25367.html

Something big and gray

It's the first prototype for the Lockheed electric kettle.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You mean they made a crockpot?

 

[T Bolt]

It does look rather modern. I'd say post '70s. Probably even newer.

 

[herman1rg]

I think it's 1960's and US Navy

 

[Crimea_River]

I believe that's a Grumman Tracker.

boy i'm so out of touch,its been years since i last went to a air show or museum sounds like a visit to duxford must be on the cards for 2012

I got lucky on that one I think. OK, let's try this:

 

[T Bolt]

Man, these are getting tougher and tougher!

 

[Geedee]

No idea at the moment. Was thinking mounting plate for wingtip tanks on an F104 but there's no facility for plumbing...so thats wrong for a starter. Its the wrong shape for a control horn on an aerobatic jobbie and its not the rear fin on a Westland Wasp / Scout. Even been looking at WW2 guided bombs like the Fritz-X but I reckon I'm on the wrong trail there as well !. Heck, I'm even thinking its a UAV of some sort

In short, I havent got a bl**dy clue !!

This one needs some serious thought. It's a good'un !

 

[Airframes]

Possibly an access step on a landing gear strut, with the grip or anti-slip material missing. I'll guess on a DHC Otter.

 

[Crimea_River]

Otter is not 'er!

 

[Airframes]

Be it ever a Beaver?!

 

[T Bolt]

I'm pretty sure what part it is. Now I have to match it to an aircraft.

 

[Crimea_River]

Beaver? Better leave 'er.
