Recognition models

Chinese AQM-34H recognition model

In 2026, a Chinese recognition model (or ID model) was offered on Ebay. It was marked as '1:100' and 'H' on the lower side, suggesting it represents a Model 147H a.k.a. AQM-34N; it doesn't resemble the AQM-34H version. The Model 147H / AQM-34N is described in 'Lighting Bugs' on pages 118-121, 125, 132-134, as a 'high-altitude photo reconnaissance' version. Four Hs are listed as being shot down over China. It therefore makes sense that the Chinese military made an ID model of this version. The model has a length of 9 cm and a span of 9.5 cm. Compared to the reported length of 30'0" / 9.14 m and a span of 32' 0.0" / 9.75 m, the model is slightly smaller than 1:100.
