Made me think of early pages of You know you're middle aged when... (https://www.sporcle.com/games/harharhar/gun-camera)

8/9: didn't know the Mistel.
I can practically smell the polystyrene cement.
-
7/9 as I read Junkers 87 as Junkers 88 and went looking for a three engine bomber rather than the dive bomber.

Three engined?
The JU 88 was a twin, you're thinking of the JU52 transport (How much of my pocket money did I waste on those models?)

It was obviously not wasted. ;D

It's actually a little complicated, though.
The Ju 52 was the Luftwaffe's principal bomber in the 1930s (seeing action in the Spanish Civil War) until the more modern types such as the He 111 and Do 17 entered service.

Hang on... This can go here. (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=111020.0) :D
(The only one I knew was the flying bomb... )
-
It is worrying that I got 100%, only guessing the Mistel.
-
I see that plays on the above quiz have jumped from 6 to 30 odd :)
Same creator made 'underwater plane wrecks (https://www.sporcle.com/games/harharhar/underwater-ww2-plane-wrecks)

Same here. My Airfix kit experience is limited to dinosaurs; I can confidently state that none of them were a pterodactyl.
-
I also got 100%. A (misspent?) childhood with Airfix kits and books from the school library. :-D
-
Too many airfix kits and 6 years in the Air Cadets. Not sure if that's a mis-spent youth or a mis-mis-spent youth?
-
Too much time reading Biggles here.
-
100% :) .I have always been interested in aircraft and ship's .
-
Too easy.

7/9. Failed on the Mistel and I couldn't remember if the Messerschmitt 110 was twin tail or not, so initially picked the He 111 photo for that.
I mainly made airliners - Beatties used to sell some wonderful East European manufactured versions of some amazingly obscure Soviet planes which Airfix never bothered with.
-
8/9 still kicking myself for mixing up the ME163 and the 262. Should have known that!
-
10/10. But I have an advantage, I have an unmade model of each of these [apart from the flying bomb, but including a Mistel] in my stash in the loft just waiting for me to retire.
-
Impressive. Especially given that i only saw 9 pictures... ;D
WHAT?
-
Well, you could count the Mistel as two aircraft, seeing as it was typically a Ju 88 or Do 17 which had the cockpit/nose area packed with explosives, and a Bf109 or Fw190 mounted on top for the pilot. ;)

Oops, counting was never my strong point.

Some of those kits are going to finish up looking interesting :D

I can still remember the day I found out that polystyrene cement was really polystyrene solvent.

Full set for me.

When I was a kid we had a 'summer house' on the back of the house. It was basically a wooden shed with windows and two glass doors leading out to the garden. This got commandeered fairly early on as 'the den' which contained the Commodore 64 and TV, Scalextric, model trains and a desk for model aeroplane building. In winter with all the doors sealed - well you wouldn't let your parents in so the door from the house had to be closed too - and the little electric fan heater blowing at full heat created a stench of solvent I'm sure I'm still addicted to 25 years later.
