I still gotta go with the Jake. The curve in the outboard leading edge doesn't fit a Kingfisher, and the wings don't taper enough for an SB2C. As I noted earlier, the holes in the wings are in different places, so I don't think they're gun access doors.

I think Ryan makes a pretty good case - I'll go with Kingfisher now too, though the flaps look a little short to me.

I think that if the scale is right, it's Ryan Short's got it.

A Kingfisher.

This was fun. Does anyone have any other photos like this?

Cheers,

...and the angles on the aileron aperture/cutout.

I could be wrong guys... The aircraft looks to be sitting at a bit of an angle, which skews things some. Also, I'm not sure if that's a wing fillet there which doesn't quite match some of the Kingfisher drawings. Wish the photo was a bit bigger and a bit clearer.

The aircraft is at a bit of an angle to the camera, but I think that an A6M3 Hamp lines up pretty well, including the gun bay covers and more-or-less the flaps; I also tried a Spitfire, Tony, Judy, Val, Kate and a Wildcat, but none were very close.
