Hi there

Time to start a new thread, so I'll kick it off with this neat little fighter; what is it? (and I've Photoshop-ed out any obvious markings this time. ) :



All the best

Hi Rowan.
Is it a Reggiane 2000?

Looks like a Zero rip off to me :-) .

Hi there

No, it's not a Reggiane 2000. A Zero rip-off?... well, by way of a clue, let's just say this isn't Japanese and it wasn't anything like as successful as the Zero.

All the best

Rowan

:-) :-) :-) That doesn't help a lot :-) :-) :-)

Hi Andy

It wasn't supposed to. :-) I'm sure someone will get this without any help from me...

All the best

Rowan

Hi Rowan.
Is it a Caproni Ca.311?
Nige

Hi again Nigel

No - not a Caproni Ca.311, but you are very definitely on the right lines (I'll say no more...)

All the best

Rowan

Caproni F5. By Italian standards of the period, the F.5 was an advanced fighter. The prototype was followed by 14 production aircraft. The fighters were assigned to the 51st Stormo and the 8th Brigata Caccia Terrestre for the defense of Rome, first as night fighters and then as day fighters.
Does anyone make a kit of this in 1/48.
Andy (++)

Hi Andy

That's right. My refs call it the Caproni Vizzola F.5. It does look very neat - and, sadly, I've never seen a plastic kit of it - but there might be a resin one out there...

Over to you for the next one.

Rowan

Thanks Rowan, I better thank Nige as well as he did do all the leg work on that question :-) .
My Question, what is this thing

Andy (++)

Hi Andy!

It's Andreï Tupolev's ANT-2.

Jean-Luc

So near and yet so far :-) :-)

Correct Jean-luc, one day i will find a question to stump you all :-)

Hi all!

Here's another one from my "private collection"... this time I know what it is! :-)



I removed the serial but even without, it shouldn't be too difficult to find what it is I think...

Jean-Luc

Dornier Libelle?

CORRECTIONmake that Dornier Delphin

cheers

Steffen

Hallo Steffen!

Delphin ist richtig! Gut gemacht, jetzt bist du an der Reihe!

Jean-Luc

Wow, first shot and hit with a ricochet :-) :-) :-) :-)

Sorry that I did not post earlier, I had to sleep for a while

Here is a new : What plane is this?



cheers

Steffen

HEY ARE YOU STILL THERE???????

it is not that hard, is it?

A hint: The year is 1934.

cheers

Steffen

Is it a Heinkel 114? Or an earlier version of it?

Or a Heinkel He-66?

Hello Gabor

Nope ...

If I would give another hint all the fun would be gone

hmm ... o.k. ... you look in the wrong direction think of a larger world :-) :-) :-)

cheers

Steffen

Edit: I have the impression you do not want to talk to me.... It is american ....

Hi Steffen!

Is it a Curtiss floatplane?

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc

No it is not.

Man I thought this thingie is really easy as you found much more obscure aircraft, prototypes with no further a/c built. This one was in duty .... or is it me???

best wishes

Steffen

Heinkel He 56
