Can anyone help identify this plane? Half Fast? Omega? Nose Cone? Other?

The model is a consolidated models WOW. Plans are available from Barry Baxter if you would like to build one. It was one of the first kits I ever bought when I was a lot younger and I flew many of them in the day.

Thanks for fast reply. This is what makes this forum so great!
Last night I went to meeting of local RC club. Some one brought various "old" unwanted models hoping t bird give way. Mostly rc stuff, and three CL. I spotted the three controline and was told no one else had any interest so I should please take out to my car right away or they  would be put out in the trash! The WOW has a McCoy 35 RH that looks like it was run very little,  paint on head looks perfect, and has original gold color Testors plug. Plane seems very well built and I doubt it was ever flown. Not one oil stain or tear in covering. Other plane was a Flight Streak and a Jr Ringmaster.  This are a lite used but not bsd. Flight streak has McCoy 19. Jr Ringmaster has Fox 15 slant plug.
Also picked up small profile , might be Circus Prince with Cox TD 049.

Some of you guys are so lucky.  Don't forget the flight report.   Back in the those gold McCoy plugs is all I used.

I will plan test flight of WOW during my next visit to GSCB. Hopefully same weekend as their annual Nov swap meet. I will first need to pull test and confirm old glue joint at BC .mount is ok. Also need to flush out the tank and  break in the McCoy.
Planning to run 10-29 GMA fuel as in my Fox 35 Stunt, with Thunderbolt hot idle bar plug.

I figured out the little 1/2A is a Baby Clown. I checked the wing and verified  there is no spar, which indicates it is from original kit.
