I thought i would share this 1st plane of 10 that brougt at a antique store. She had another 5x more that were in worse shape , but still worth the the purchase . I went back to buy the other broken ones and somesome brought the lot. This lady who owns the store said she got these Planes from an Estate sale from a Old war Veteran .
Very possibly a Dornier DO 335 Pfeil(trainer) made by Revell. Tamiya made one also, it was released later. Not sure when the Revell kit came out, maybe early 70's. I'm not certain about this, but since the other kits are Monogram, this is probably the Revell kit.
That's a night fighter. The antennae on the wings are radar.

Wow! Thanks #Toyrebel and #fortapache for your comments thanks for the insight.
#fortapache. I see those antennas on the wings, I think some others broke off in the antiques care. When I found these planes they were all piled on top of each other like they were tossed in. I have a bag of bits and pieces from these planes as well.
Could this be a Frog model??
This one was called The Anteater so not a Frog.
#fortapache. Frog was a well-known British brand of flying model aircraft and scale model construction kits from the 1930s to the 1970s. The company's first model, an Interceptor Mk. 4, was launched in 1932, followed in 1936 by a range of 1:72 scale model aircraft kits made from cellulose acetate, which were the world's first.
