Default What are these? Pattern?

I have two (what I have been told) pattern planes! The larger one is supposed to be a custom made plane by some swiss pattern plane maker?????????? I have no idea. The smaller one looks neat other than the nasty color choices, But if you look at the bottom of the wings there is covering over retractable gear cut-outs. But fuse has fixed gear. I'm curious if these planes are worth anything. I'm into giant scale GA aircraft and would rather see these planes displayed or flown! So I would rather sell to someone who would appreciate them. Thanks Erik

The one in first picture is a CAP 232 it's a IMAC pattern plane.

Second one is a CMPRO Swallow, in the old colours. I had one, and yeah they were designed so you could go for retracts if you wanted to. I threw away the crappy fibreglass gear, and fitted alumium ones, and put an ST G90, piped and pumped in mine. was a great f3a trainer.

First one looks like a CAP 232, or 231. The caprise was designed to "look" like a scale cap 232, a bit of a style at the time.

Whatever the first one is, it is certainly based on a CAP 232, but obviously stretched and slimmed down from scale. The elevators and rudder also do not have the classic CAP airbalances. The whole stab has been moved back evidenced of the cutouts to allow the rudder to move from to side to side.
