I believe it's a photograph of a 1/10th scale company model (built by the Doering brothers) of the Vultee Model 48 ; later known as the Vanguard ( P-66).
I don't think, however, that the shape of the canopy is precisely as that which eventually emerged on the full size aeroplane.
P.S. It would be very interesting to me if somebody could actually photo confirm that precise canopy configuration on the prototype.

If that is a 10th scale model it has incredible detail!
Just checked - it is a model! Fantastic detail - the brothers must be Museum modelers.
Great stuff.
Is this the one you are looking for?

RETDPI has correctly identified the aircraft. The Vultee Model 48 Vanguard/P-66. Look closely, you can see the door. He has control.
Here is the model:

WZ 662 ,
Good enough for government work!
To be precise it is the replica built in 1936, based upon Tony Fokker's third "Spin".
This replica is still extant.
Open house it is

Two lines of enquiry; M-S 406/430/EFW-D 3800; or,EFW/EKW C-3602..suggested by the `black box` maybe where the breech for the H-S cannon went,rocket-assist-Swiss high airfields ? ASI in kph ? some gauges in english ?
