#7 is not a "maxi" but a regular HoJo #1919
#9 is not a "maxi" but a regular V-2 #1926
#13 is a Zinger #1917
#14 is an Exocet #1925

I don't recognize #3, but I'm going to look for it.

#1 The AVI/MPC MoonGo has a larger "upper stage" with a Gemini looking nose cone, so that's not it. The upper half looks like the AVI/MPC Martian Patrol. I think the two have been bashed to make this one.

So the Martian Patrol has the MoonGo fin can underneath the saucers? I guess that's why it looks like the bash I suggested.
That takes care of #1 and all the rest of them are covered except #3. It looks familiar, but I was a weenie and quit looking for it after about 5 minutes.

3 is some mini engine thing that folks have upscaled.

the "Red Max" looks like a lengthened Der V-3, just like the V-2 in the picture that has too much body tube and not enough nose cone.

Oh, and 12 seems to be a Wizard missing a fin
