Allied Planes

Models are all either 1/24, 1/32 or1/48, some rare kits are amongst them. Some of these Planes I no longer have, this includes their dioramas.  The rest became part of my personal collection. In all cases where the models were catalogued they were separated from their diorama which was reused. Some of these photographs included HD images as backdrops. and hand made bases/dioramas

Here is the identification of the Allied Model aircraft

Model Identification, Photographs from top left to bottom right – 1, 2, 3: Douglas SBD Dauntless (Top row, left three images): US Navy/Marine Corps carrier-based dive bomber featuring distinctive perforated dive flaps and star-in-circle national insignia. – 4: Vought F4U Corsair (Top row, far right): US Navy/Marine Corps fighter characterized by its iconic inverted gull wing and large radial engine. – 5-11, This model is a De Havilland Mosquito B Mark IV (Bomber variant).It is clearly identifiable by its distinctive glazed “glass nose” housing the bomb-aimer’s position, lack of solid nose-mounted machine guns, and the standard bomber canopy configuration designed to carry internal payload rather than fighter armament. – 12-18, Supermarine Spitfire Legendary British single-seat fighter featuring elliptic wings, recognizable squadron codes (such as 5J and KO-Y), and D-Day invasion stripes. – 19, 20, 21: North American P-51 Mustang (specifically a late-model variant with the teardrop bubble canopy, red nose cone, and red tail assembly) – 22, 23, 24: Fairey Swordfish (the famous “Stringbag”). You can easily spot its classic features here: the classic open-cockpit biplane layout, the radial engine, the intricate rigging struts, and the rear observer’s position equipped with a defensive machine gun. – 25, 26: Hawker Hurricane — British single-seat fighter, clearly showing the characteristic “KO-A” and “AO-K” squadron codes and RAF roundels.- 27 – 32, Hawker Typhoon — British fighter-bomber featuring prominent “car door” cockpit access, massive inline Napier Sabre engine cowlings, and black-and-white D-Day invasion stripes. – 33, 34, 35: Avro Lancaster — Iconic British four-engine heavy bomber featuring twin vertical stabilizers and a large bomb bay profile.
