Default Help identifying airplanes...

So I came across an assortment of 8 models that were being sold for a price I couldn't refuse. I'm trying to figure what models a couple of the airplanes are. I suspect the blue/pink airplane is a Hog Bipe with only one wing? I doesn't look like there was ever a lower wing installed... The other sea plane, I have no idea, but the engine is quite small.

Any help identifying these would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure about the float plane, but the blue and pink plane is a Great Planes Pete -n- Poke

The seaplane might be a Herr (also called an "Aqua Star"). That was a 1/2A size seaplane. Something about the wing floats doesn't look Sig-ish.

40-1/2" wingspan if built to plans.

The Aqua Star is by Herr Eng. and sold thru Sig. The floats attach with rubber bands.
