B-47?

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Thanks, you are a big help... B-36? (doing this the hard way.... )

C-5 Galaxy

Terry Banged It! I knew you would when you guessed 52! Good on ya!

It was taken last summer at the 8th Airforce Museum in Georgia...if you wanna see the whole thing, visit their website! Ha!

Jack's a cute kid...

Thanks bud! He and his sister are the best things I ever built! (though I did have some help...)

Know what you mean.. if you think they're great (and of course they are) wait until (if and or when) they produce... grandkids are the absolute best! All the fun and none of the pain (well mostly none... )

OK, try this one - it might not be what you think .......

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have absolutely no idea.

 

[gumbyk]

That was going to be my guess, Aaron....

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Think it's an engine fairing on a multiengine aircraft... seen looking forward from the wing's trailing edge?

 

[norab]

Boeing 307 stratocruiser?

 

[Capt. Vick]

I'm going to say C-47 though I believe the wing root to fuse fairing is much larger...

 

[T Bolt]

probably wrong, but I'll say Zero

 

[pbfoot]

No flush riveting

 

[Airframes]

It's not an engine fairing, Stratocruiser or C47. Neither is it a Zero. First clue, it's twin-engined.

 

[Airframes]

Need another clue chaps? OK, it's not American, English or French, and it's post WW2 ......

 

[GrauGeist]

huh...something just doesn't look right about that photo...it appears to be the wing root, but those rivets on the trailing edge don't look right...you've tossed out a dang good challenge, Terry!!

This is gonna take some work...

 

[woljags]

i was thinking it was one of the later Yak Russian trainers but the twin engine bit has now thrown me

 

[Airframes]

Another clue, repeated from the first post - what you are seeing, is not what you probably think it is!

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Yes, it looks like a trailing edge of a wing or horizontal stabilizer but the split in the upper and lower surface as you look toward the lower right of the photo is confusing me. It could be russian but the paint isn't applied thickly enough based on a single Mig 23 I once saw. This appears to be a beautifully applied paint scheme. I'm gonna need more help or just stand on the sidelines rooting for the competition.
