$\begingroup$ NC248V was registered as a Fairchild KR-135 (airhistory.org.uk/gy/reg_N32.html) but that doesnt look right. $\endgroup$– Jamiec ♦Feb 23, 2018 at 18:30

$\begingroup$ @Jamiec Looks like the model builder ran out of "V" decals, so he flipped an "A" upside down. :/ $\endgroup$– TomMcWFeb 23, 2018 at 20:37

The top image is a Bellanca Skyrocket.
The second image looks like the Fairchild FC-1, one was built as a prototype, followed by the FC-2 which was powered by a radial engine.
Not sure about the last, found a few similar but nothing exact.

1$\begingroup$ The top one looks different from the Bellanca Skyrocket picture: different angle of vertical tail, different rudder, different engine cowling shape. $\endgroup$– KoyovisFeb 24, 2018 at 1:12

$\begingroup$ @Koyovis there are a few different models of the Skyrocket, the cowling and tail do have differences $\endgroup$– foootFeb 24, 2018 at 3:49

2$\begingroup$ Here is a better picture of an XRE-3 Skyrocket (civilian name CH-400). The tail and the wing struts match a lot better. The one in the question sports a NACA cowling and indicates a late series model. $\endgroup$ Feb 24, 2018 at 20:10
