Does anyone make electric foamies of either the Beech Bonanza V-tail or the Mooney? Both had rather unique looks for civilian aircraft.
I haven't seen a V-tail. Ya know these V-tailed Beech craft Bonanza's had a pretty serious issue with blowing the tails off due to excessive speed. A few unfortunate people found out during rough turbulence flights. The V-tail design made the plane super clean, (Bonanza's and Baron's all were clean air frame's to begin with). They would get tossed around a bit found them selves nose down with out a tail. They finally came up with a mandatory reinforcement, but pilots were still cautioned about diving, very bad idea in one of those, that is if you happen to like living.
You can collect a Bonanza at "rccastle.com". They even have one with floats, lol. I honestly don't think they ever made such a thing, but I could be wrong, I'm wrong many times. You would have to mod it for the V-tail, doesn't sound to hard. If ya really, really want one.

PS don't know about the Mooney, they were really nice flying planes though. Everyone that I knew that had them, love them.
I like all four on your list as well! Especially the Viking.
I still want a Beechcraft Starship one day, because Rutan is the man...
Or a Bugatti 100P, because, well, Bugatti 100P
Or a Supermarine Seafang... contra-rotating prop and longer tail moment, yes and yes.
Or a 64mm XB-53 hand launch... just to see a different silhouette in the sky for a change
XB-67... just because it's sexy when viewed from some angles and hideous when viewed from others
Or any twin engine Japanese WW2 aircraft. Or a Swordfish. Or a Constellation. Or an Orion. Or a Convair Flying Car. Or a Bronco. Or a Dragon Rapide. Or a Tu-95 Bear. Or a Martin Mariner. Or a Pond Racer.
I REALLY like your train of thought! There is a lot of plane porn in that lot:Cool:.
