So imagine my face when I was watching "The King's Speech" last year and yet-to-be King George VI told his doctor, who was trying to help him with his stammering, that he always wanted to make scale models :XD:

"Now, as a special reward, I'm going to allow you to smear a bit of glue onto this piece of wood."

I love that movie.

Logue is one generous dude. I don't let anyone even come close to my models after my cousin broke the undercarriage of my PZL.37 bomber :tantrum:

Never thought the King would be into Frog Penguin models (pretty sure that's their 1937 Avro 504K model kit he's holding there - or an Airfix Avro 504 'stunt double'... ;p )

Logue also had what looks like a Sopwith Triplane hanging in his apartement ([link] ). These models were glued by his sons and he allowed Albert* to finish one for making progress in his therapy.

* this was before he was crowned.

That would have been - like most models of the time - a balsa one; Frog was the first company to issue moulded plastic ones (or rather, acetate cellulose) in 1936 under the FROG Penguin brand - FROG was an acronym for "Fly Right Off the Ground", as they were flying models; the new line of plastic assembly kits were thus referred to as "Penguins", as Penguins don't fly... ;p

Question of course is, is it a Sopwith Triplane, or a Fokker Dr.I; some of those models were notoriously crude, as they would continue to be for a good number of decades - pretty much like the Aurora Messerschmitt 109, or the (original) Airfix Spitfire or MiG-15... ;p

I judged it's a Sopwith, since it seemed more fitting for British boys to make British planes ;) Besides even if its crude it's more similar to Sopwith than Fokker.

I also have one Frog's model, Gloster E.28/39, a permament member of "I'll finish it one day" club :laughing:

It's actually not so bad - I have it as well. It does have a rather bare interior, and there are some shape issues, but with a bit of work it can be made into something reasonably good. In fact, I have quite a number of FROG kits, and only one or two of them are 'bad'; most are 'acceptable', quite a number even 'exceptional'. :3
