Spanish WW2 ID model range

[grwebster]

I found this interesting item in europe for sale by a toy dealer.
The -2 Corsair was an early WW2 variant and it would appear than other aircraft were made in the same series as this one appears to be number 32 in the series.
I have never seen another.

One of our Spanish members posted this:
I've never seen one like it before, but the review of the Air Ministry, makes me think that models are manufactured to military personnel to become familiar with forms and silhouette of the aircraft, to the aerial reconnaissance.
The label of Casa Reina, is quite possibly the manufacturer. This firm has been a leader in the sale and manufacture of models and kits. If I remember correctly there is still on the streets "Desengaño" in Madrid. As a child I bought there several RC aircraft.

Interesting, especially as a similar thing happened in New York after WW2. Polks Hobby shop bought up lots of the identification recognition models as surplus and sold them for years out of a big carboard box on the left of the entrance door, I spent hours in that store as a kid.
Thanks for the information.
