Captain China 1950

 This film has a couple of shots of a model ship in a storm. Most of the shots are just crashing waves. The image is so murky it is pretty hard to see anything. The effects were by Alex Weldon.

Malaya 1949

 There are a few miniature shots of a cargo vessel as well as sampans and a small sailing craft that looks like it could have been a simple cutout as it is only seen in silhouette. There are also some stock miniature shots from They Were Expendable from 1945 of a Japanese cruiser exploding used as rear projection plates.

The miniature work was supervised by A Arnold Gillespie with matte paintings supervised by Warren Newcombe. 






This appears to be a simple flat cutout.

Matte painted village.
