Postwar REVELL Training Models?

Postby BWBrown » Fri Oct 25, 2013 2:39 am

Hi Everyone -
I was rummaging around looking for something else, when I ran across this old photo. I thought it might be of interest because it seems to indicate that certain old REVELL models were also used as ID training models. There's no way to document your ownership of one of these, of course, unless you have the supporting provenance, but it is a very interesting "aside". Who knew? I got this photo many years ago, but had totally forgotten about it until recently. Certainly, it opens up new avenues of investigation.
Write with any questions.
Best wishes! -- Bryan

Here are the photos straight up, so no need to lie down in order to view them. Sorry I didn't do this the first time! -- BB

Bryan,
Interesting article. Brings up another question. Does anyone know if there are any "current" id models in use by the US or other countries? I only know of the foam tank models and the Dillon models (F15, F16).

It seems that there are some modern ID models. Here's a link to an interesting article on this subject:
