The first one appears to be a Sukhoi Su-7. I was looking to find out more about the second. My first guess was the Lavochkin La-250 Anaconda, but that had delta wings. I am unaware about the manufacturer of either model. They are in pretty rough shape now, being over 55 years old. Any info about their origins would be welcome. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

My first guess was the Lavochkin La-250 Anaconda, but that had delta wings. Both are very poor reproductions, and poor scale replicas. Your second guess was a good one (without the delta wings.) I tried a Tu-128P Fiddler, but the wing shape, and the general engine and body shape are a bit different, along with the missing Tupolev canoe fairings for the wheels. This may look a bit like a Yakovlev interceptor, such as the Yak-27 Flashlight, but the engines were slung on the wings. Hmm... Cheers, Sumantra.
