Real Or Fake Game

Mon Mar 05, 2007 2:53 pm

So heres how it goes. Someone will post a picture of an aircraft (Model or real) and its up to the viewers to guess if the picture is of a real plane or of a model.
Ill start it off with this picture: (This should be easy)

I'll go one better on the 38. It's a later version has the early
models had a rounded control wheel :lol:

It's going to be impossible to fool this crowd, but here goes. Two pictures. Which of the following is correct:

(A) Both are models.
(B) Only #1 is a model.
(C) Only #2 is a model.
(D) Neither is a model.

And the buzzer says 'C'!

The Pup's definitely a model because the real structure's not like that inside. I'm going that the Jenny's real because the structure looks right, and the prop's about the right size for th real thing and too small for a scale model.

The Duck's real. Where is it?

PB4Y is Real...
Duck's Real,
Jenny's Real,
Pup's fake (just look at the wheels closely)

Well?

P.S. On the Duck, isn't that the one that was on display in Peru and was later scrapped :cry: ?

Chris Brame is correct, the Duck was a real airplane.

This particular Duck never saw military service in Peru, but was instead used by an evangelical group for medical and re-supply missions in the jungle regions during the 1960s, IIRC.

The photo shows "Amauta" at a park in Lima and yes, it was eventually scrapped.

The Iranian F-14 Tomcat and F-4 Phantom are both Models.........all be them really well executed ones.
