That B-29 pic would make a cool diorama. Posed for a photographer?

My son and I went to Chino last weekend. I took some pics but my old camera kinda needs to be replaced. Anyway, I'll put some of the ones that came out halfway decent.
This is the An-2. Its in need of a lot of work, including new fabric covering. It even has a Russian engine in it. My son absolutely loves these An-2's for some reason.

From Chino.....a study in exhaust stains on a full scale P-51 Mustang. Note the pink and blue hues just outside the main exhaust deposits created from the massive heat produced. I had not noted this before. My first thought was that this a/c had flown a long distance but I could bee absolutely wrong. I'm not sure this coloring would be easily reproduced in our common model scales. I thought it was very interesting.

Chino....its tough to get good pics in some hangars due to the fact that they are so packed with airplanes and have narrow walkways. An example:
