About the Item
WWII Bakelite and painted wood recognition model of a Dornier Do.18 flying boat.
1:72 scale.
The Dornier Do 18 flying boat was developed for the Luftwaffe, although LuftHansa received five aircraft and used these for tests between the Azores and the North American continent in 1936, and on their mail route over the South Atlantic from 1937 to 1939. On 27–29 March 1938, a “Do 18 W” established a seaplane record, flying non-stop a straight distance of 8,391 km (5,214 mi) from Start Point, Devon to Caravelas in Brazil.
The first Recognition models started to be produced prior to WWII following a national movement to increase the public’s awareness of the then new aviation technology, this became known as `Air mindedness’ and was promoted at aviation events such as the Schneider Trophy and Cobham’s Flying Circus. During the early years of WWII, following confusion and friendly fire incidents such as the ‘Battle of Barking Creek’, aircraft recognition training was used to ensure that friendly fire incidents were avoided. The main users of aircraft recognition models were branches of the military, the Royal Observer Corps, Anti-aircraft gunners, and the Home Guard.

Bronze Waterline Model of the Submarine HMS Finwhale
Located in London, GB
A bronze waterline model of the Royal Navy porpoise-class submarine HMS Finwhale (SO5).
HMS Finwhale (S05) was the fifth Porpoise-class submarine of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 21 July 1959 and first commissioned on 19 August 1960. During her first commission she went further under the ice than any other submarine at the time. She was recommissioned on 27 January 1964. In March 1965 on her second Arctic patrol she further eclipsed her first ice patrol, penetrating 95 miles into the ice.
The Porpoise class was an eight-boat class of diesel-electric submarines operated by the Royal Navy. This class was originally designated patrol submarines, then attack. They were the first conventional British submarines to be built after the end of World War II. Their design was, in many ways, influenced by the German World War...

Large 1930s Ford Tin Goose Tri-Motor Airplane Model
Located in Peekskill, NY
This is a large delicate tin model made around the same time the real Tin Goose was flying. The wingspan is an impressive 40 inches. The wheels are rubber and the 4 part windshield is glass. I'm surprised the model survived in such nice and complete condition for about 90 years. We had a custom display stand made for it that brings it to another level.
Between 1926 and 1933 some 200 Trimotors were built in Ford's own factory. Corrugated metal on great thick monoplane wings was a German development, used in Junker JU-52 planes that were flying the Berlin-Rome-London route. Trimotors were flown by airlines, oil companies and wealthy individuals. The Ford Trimotor...
