Title: CL Planes hanging from Bar Ceiling
Post by: Shug Emery on February 05, 2017, 01:41:57 PM: My Daughter was gigging at a club in Chicago and spied these planes. One is for sure a CL plane. Twin engines.
Not sure of the designs.

The C/L model is a very scale looking Northrop P-61 "Black Widow". It shows some age appears to have been done quite well. The bipe I'm betting is a Sig "Skybolt".

What's the name of the place Shug?

The outdoor photo was of a father and young son posing with three of their twin engine C/L scale models. A P-38, a P-61 and a (?). As a teenage model airplane addict, I found myself going back to it now and then, just staring at it and wishing I could build scale models like the ones shown. If my memory is correct, could the P-61 in Shug's daughters photo be the one that was on the cover of AAM?

Post by: kenneth cook on February 12, 2017, 04:43:31 PM: American Modeler December 1957 issue shows what looks just like this P-61. I wish I could scan it, but it just mentions Aristo Craft Model company.

Post by: Ara Dedekian on February 14, 2017, 09:24:15 PM: My wife figured out a long time ago that when I'm gone she's going straight to the interior decorators with my planes. They put a greater $$ value on our work than other modelers. It's like the beat up Buster/Fox 35 I saw hanging in an antique shop for $125!
