That looks like the Martin Mariner (Revell?) on the left, and the Supermarine Stranraer (right) that I'm fairly sure is a Matchbox kit for the two amphibious seaplanes.

I see the Lindberg Monitor and Merrimack ironclads.

The Dragon Morser Karl & transporter in 1:144 scale.

The Airfix Pe-2 is the darker twin-engine plane, and behind it is a DC-3 in silver.

Blue and white car looks like the Camero SS, orange one I can't really tell. Kinda looks like a Datsun, but that is just a guess.

I will not attempt either sailing vessel.

Stranaer is Matchbox 1/72 ,Coronado is a vac form 1/72,Monitor and Virginia are scratch built and larger than the Lindberg kits,The Siege Mortar is the 1/72 Hasegawa kit, The TU-2M is the 1/72 ICM kit ,The silver plane is a Lockheed Electra,the 69 Chevelle SS396 is the AMT kit,The Ferrari 250 SWB is an AMT/ESCI kit.The large ship model is a Steingreber Admiral Vernon kit .

You did pretty well,I too confuse the PE-8 and the TU2-M as they are similar in appearance.

Everything?  Looks like a VHS tape far left on that narrow shelf.

Lindberg did two different Ironclads. I had a missing part on one kit, wrote to them and they sent me the one with the blue vacuformed base that was an entirely different set of kits. It was real odd.

I was just guessing. I didn't think the ship was that big so I downsized the Karl Morser.

I absolutely loved the Matchbox 1/72 scale aircraft kits and the 1/76 scale armor kits. I think I bought and built almost every one. Some I bought more than one to build in each scheme or option. The AH-1G Cobra and AV-8A Harrier come to mind.

Because I thought the Karl Morser was 1/144, that's why I thought the twin engine was a Pe-2.

Yes that ship is so huge that it skews the perspective for sure!Makes everything around it appear smaller!

The ship is 39 inches long (from rudder to bowsprit)and 34 " High.it weighs only 4 .1 pounds because it is plank on bulkhead ,if it was solid hull it would be over 10 lbs!
