Interesting wee display, the Armstrong Siddeley Siskin 1920s fighter being the odd one for inclusion here...

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.
