The What is it? Game

[B-17engineer]

Errrrr the computer I use to edit isn't available so someone else can go!

 

[T Bolt]

This one Should be easier

 

[dennis420b]

A-17?

 

[T Bolt]

That's it ! At the Air Force Museum in Dayton

 

[dennis420b]

Beautiful pic. And a great display. But I still have no original pics of my own, so I will pass, if that is alright with everyone.

 

[T Bolt]

I'll post one more before bed

Boeing thingamabob airliner thingy.Hmm. No it's not, thet had rectangular windows.

 

[T Bolt]

No, not a Boeing. Here's a clue: It has 2 engines

 

[Airframes]

Beech 18.

 

[T Bolt]

You've got it Terry!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Glenn. The Boeing I was thinking of was twin engined also, the smallish thing.
Anyway, here's another small shot.

 

[T Bolt]

P-36 or Hawk 75

 

[Airframes]

Jeez! That was quick! It's a Hawk, at Duxford, in French markings.
I knew someone would get it, but I expected to see P47, P40 etc first!

I've made the Hobbycraft kit twice. That downward bulge at the wheel well is very distinctive. Give me a few minutes to come up with another one.

 

[T Bolt]

How about this wheel?

 

[Airframes]

What a pretty wheel!
Hmm, trying to figure out if it's a nosewheel or tail wheel. Guessing by the 'spokes', it's larger than a tailwheel. So, that suggests the nose is relatively low, on a larger aircraft, and the style and angle make me think heavy, so I'm going to guess at a B24 Liberator.

 

[T Bolt]

Very good Terry! B-24D The Strawberry B!tch in Dayton

 

[Airframes]

OK, give me a few minutes to find something.

 

[Airframes]

This one shouldn't be too difficult, as there are clues in the picture.

 

[T Bolt]

You might have me stumped here Terry. It looks vaguely familiar though. White tells me Navy. Too big for Corsair tail wheel well. Maybe a Ventura but that's not right, the leg would be offset. How about a clue?
