My problems with the caption you posted besides the scale of the B-36 is
1 - Neither of the planes are a B-50, they are both B-29's
2 - The 2nd from the bottom A/C is not a B-18 or a B-10, If it is a real A/C I have no idea what it is.
3 - Bottom A/C almost looks like a B-18 besides the issues already described by Count de Bastrop the scale of the B-18 is wrong, a B-18 is a large A/C almost as large as a B-17. The B-18 in the picture looks like a 1/2 scale replica. I have seen an actual B-18 up close, and there is not way you can reach up and touch the bottom of the bomb aimers window as it sits way to high for that.
4 - The B-45 is also not quite correct.
Looks to be a UC-45 to me but what do I know

so the picture your talking about is AI so everything you said is not really helpful , I'm not trying to be an ass but I am
 
The "B-45" engine nacelles look like Convair B-46 nacelles. Actual S/N 41-11883 was a B-24D-CO "Skylark" condemmed16 SEP 42 and the acft pictured looks like no known Air Force plane. Also, look at the "U S Air Force" marking on the "B-45" rear fuselage- phoney, to use a technical term.
