i would say that these models are primarily toy's since they are not real models in the sense of a copy of a real plane.

:Yes these are toys, and toys are ''unambiguously'' eligible for copyright. See [[COM:TOYS]], [[COM:CB]] and the quoted case, ""[T]he statutory definition of 'useful article' suggests that toys are copyrightable. To be a 'useful article,' the item must have 'an intrinsic utilitarian function that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article.' And a toy airplane is merely a model which portrays a real airplane. To be sure, a toy airplane is to be played with and enjoyed, but a painting of an airplane, which is copyrightable, is to be looked at and enjoyed. Other than the portrayal of a real airplane, a toy airplane, like a painting, has no intrinsic utilitarian function." Gay Toys, Inc. v. Buddy L Corp., 703 F.2d 970 (6th Cir. 1983) [[User:elcobbola|'''Эlcobbola''']] _{[[User talk:elcobbola|talk]]} 19:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
