Interesting to me is the fact that the airplanes are all control line flying models. The model engine cylinders can be seen on all the cowls. I would like to have had the chance to fly them. My guess is they were all built by the same modeler because he uses display props on the B-29,F-51H (a Jetco kit ), and the super DC-3. The props for flight would be slightly larger diameter two blade props. A model craftsman. This photo in worthy of the balsa model thread.
