OK, what & where & when ?????

Got this from alt.binaries pictures aviation.

Sorry I cannot give any credit but will gladly will if pointed to.

I guess those have to be replicas..right ?

Would love to be proved wrong :D

How does the scale looks to you ? 1to1 ?

From the comparative size of the blades of grass, they look like models to me.

I always thought those were the neatest looking high wing monoplanes

Those appear to be models. I did read awhile back of a replica being made but I don't remember if it was to be airworthy or not.

Wow if they are models they must be fairly big.

Also, they are sporting some quite unusual props for models.
