freedomfighter Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi Rummaging through my conversions box, and finally found this. https://imgur.com/a/S4Znt I feel I should know what it is, the shapes are reminiscent of.................................... mm. Anyone with sharper eye/memory co-ordination than I ahve recognise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If I had to guess, I'd guess something Grumman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The wheels would suggest that. Maybe a Tiger with that fin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomfighter Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks for looking guys. Your suggestions have started to stir the memory, but where its taking me I'm not quite sure yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomfighter Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Hard a careful look at Tigers online, the fin is a close match, but the u/c doors are not. Checked the Demon too. Carrier based perhaps - there is what seems to be a hook to the left of what I take to be the closed nosewheel door.

Creepy Pete Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Could you provide us with some sizes and perhaps the scale it should be in? That might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomfighter Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Certainly can. Its almost certainly 1/72, as I can't remember building in anything else. The fin height is 32mm and the length of the bottom of the fin is 42mm, and the bottom of the fin is concave, the curve tightening slightly towards the rear of the rudder. The main undercarriage legs have a lug on either side, so 2 main wheels per side. The main wheel doors are grooved on the inside, presumably to take the round main undercarriage legs. And the nosewheel leg, the upper part of it is 3mm square section - and that's not sprue, as there is a pin at the top of the leg to fit into a front fuselage. Hope that helps.

71chally Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Going from the amount of wheels, compressor fronts and shapes of the gear doors etc, this is almost certainly parts of a complete kit of the EFW N-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHoff Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hello, As 71chally guessed, those are parts of a 1/72 Dujin kit of the N-20 Aiguillon. Look here: http://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=2916 Philippe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 OK, I would have never guessed that. Although I did feel it belonged to some form of flying wing thingie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomfighter Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 71chally, thank you for switching the light on! Have to have a look round for the rest of the kit now. Thanks to all of you for helping identify these parts. So if any of the readers of this thread have the wing halves and fuselage halves, I can help you out! Thanks again freedomfighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
