On another board a member posted a photo of a recognition model owned by his grandfather who was posted in England. It has American ID markings as his g'father said it was an American a/c so he applied the decals to it.
It looks like a Ki-21 but why would such a model be in England?

Could be ("could" be... it's a very superficial resemblance) a B-10, though these were really pre-war. Except for the nose being totally different on the B-10.

Probably need to know more of the story...might have been kind of a joke.
Brits, in any case would need Japanese recognition models since they too were in India, Burma, Indo-China, etc.
In any case, here's a Dutch marked Sally:

And here's a US captured Dinah:

So maybe there was a US captured Sally too.
-
My inclination was that it looks very much like a Sally, also. My B-10 response was in the mindset of assuming it wasnt a Sally.
So I'd say somebody just painted it (rather crudely) well after the fact.
-
Looks like a crude wooden Sally...
Name this one (without reading the file name)..

AKAK has it right on Widewing's photo. Baltimore. Did some good work in the MTO with the RAF, RAAF etc. Apparently it was a pretty decent performer

Looks like a Fa33 autogyro the Kriegsmarine used to launch from subs for observation.

Yeah, I was thinking to do that but was lazy and hoped others would just guess without cheating

Good job on the Fa-330!!
Alright guys, try this one... not super tough, but no Google Image search is going to help on this one... :P

The Hudson. :)

The Hudson. :)
Yes.
Have been reading about the poor pilots who had to fly this plane in the Pacific.
They where one of the first Allied aircraft into combat, dropping bombs and strafing japanese troops and ships landing at Kota Bharu hours before the Pearl Harbor. They sunk 24 landing barges and 1 ship, and landed hits on the 3 other transports setting 2 on fire. They where flying 20mins to the battle ground at midnight on 7/8 Dec, after 14 hours of none stop operations including rearming and repairing multiple times, the last Hudsons flew out with as many aircrew/ground crew that could fit. As they flew out they came under fire from japanese next to the field.
Then when the lack of planes became desperate they were asked to fly as escort and patrol.

Heheheh, yes, I thought it was something from Miles until I looked at the tail.

The 5th one looks like a S.55 flying boat with 3 engines instead of a single one.

Correct, with gear out it looks even more akward :P
Used to fly out of a field frequented by a restored that SAAB B17

I don't know, it doesn't look as awkward as some of the prewar Brit/Italian/French designs :D

Nah, but it does look like a spiteful and a P-51 had a baby (but looks too much like a P-51 to be a spiteful).

Twinboom's is the Ki 115 Tsurugi, a design notable only for having placed a higher value on the rubber in the tires than on the life of the pilot.

This one should be easy. It is more an attempt to counteract all the ugly being posted on the last few pages.

Bugatti 100P. In many ways the design was ahead of its time. It never flew so the theories weren't really put to practise. It for example used a flap mechanisim that is similar to the modern competition gliders. The top seepd claims however were wayyyy too optimistic, though as far as I can figure.
There's a group currently builiding a reproduction to fly that will be configured to the similar specs as the original one.

wow, only ten minutes. I knew she was going to be easy..........to ID :D

No one could figure out the 3 I posted? They're really not that hard, just some rather rare planes.
