Default Need some help identifying these planes

Hey there, picked up a load of planes from an auction and still have a few that i cant figure out what they are. hoping some of you could help me there.

The first one... i was hoping to rebuild it but im not sure if thats possible

This second one, im really just wondering if i could get any money for it by selling. im not big into this style, and im not sure i would know where to start to finish it. but am still curious as to its name.

thanks

Could be wrong but I think the first one is some sort of scale aerobatic plane maby an Extra. The Second looks like a profle scale combat plane. As for finishing the second model dope and tissue or monokote would do fine.

First one, an Extra 260 looks pretty old & built with overweight construction. The second one is trash.. It looks like there is even mold growing in the wood. Is that a control line airplane?

The second one MIGHT be one of the old Sig Kwik-built kits, either the Chipmunk or the Mustang - I think the wingspans were around 60" or so. These featured profile fuselages with ABS plastic shells to give them a full-fuselage shape. THey also had a Cessna in that series - but this obviously is not one of those!

I think they went out of production in the late 1980's or early 1990's or thereabouts. Doubt you could get the shells anymore, but Sig might have the plans available - could be finished off as a profile sport model.

No offense but there is not much there. I'd hang up as retro decor.
