     No, that' model is too small. The movie models were pretty big. There have been photos published of Dave Platt working with the models, and even one in recent times, that may have been in Model Aviation?? Or maybe Aeromodeller.

Think its the U.K. scale team for the world champs . Was scale stuff in the Aeromodellor Magazine there . The Brigand ( twin ) & discussions ! on flight options & points Vs Complexity etc .
On u tube STILL many SCALE planes wallow around TAIL HEAVY . So the odd git built a FLYING entry of something simple that'd balance and FLY WELL , for flying points .
Rather than a complex dodo .

A notororious French scale caudron eventually demolished itself attempting repeatadly ' flight ' which it wouldnt . C L scale to the consternation then ammusement of all. Apparently . According to reports .

 I have no idea, but it looks like three incredibly well done models. Too bad it's extremely rare to see such work anymore. Great photo, thanks for sharing.  H^^

They all look great.
The one on the right looks like a Shinn, later called a Varga. I have the pleasure of flying a full size one occasionally.
