Good question. The one the 'Dad' is holding is a side by side twin engined aircraft with a long spine, and the only one that comes to mind is a Marut! But that'd be most unlikely really.........  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

And the one I really want a kit of! But the Marut had rounded wingtips.

Not really, there nothing worse in my opinion than censoring films based on modern standards. Just issue a warning with them  :mellow:

Based on what's on the table, looks like either a GUPPied fleet boat or the Nautilus

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

A B-52.  Looks like a submarine on its side lying on the table.

The fin's too skinny for a 'B-52, maybe a B-47? I remember building that Revell 'Fit the box' kit myself in 1953 or so.

All those partially built kits on the table could lead to some real kit bashing! Beaver would be the one to glue wings onto the sub!

Did the F11F have twin side-by-side engines?
I think the correct answer is XF-90, as given in he ARC link.

We're all assuming they bothered to put the correct wing and fuselage parts together... 'Just stick some bits together, it only has to look good for the 15 seconds or so of screen time.'
