Although Airfix kits are the correct shape aerodynamically they were never made to fly so the weight proportionaly is far too much for the lift that the wings could generate unless the airflow over them was of an unbelievably high speed.

So theoretically if you could propel them at such a speed it may be possible but you could never get the equipment into the model to be able to get it to those speeds and then it would be so far above scale to be ridiculous and you would never be able to keep your eye on it!
