Chinese perhaps?

Or Maybe Alekseyev SM-2 or 3. Not 1, because its engine was on top.

Not Chinese Reg,

But don't stop now mate; you're so very close, just don't believe what you see at first glance on a certain website, it's on the same page, if you're on that site!

Well. Apparently not on the correct site. Seen picture of a "SM - 2P7" project, which otherwise could be it but looks much longer and lacks the winglet on its nose

Edit: UT-1? Wossa pic?

Wanna part in the action?

All yours Captain Sir......

It IS longer than I thought .

I WAS ON THE SITE WHERE THE PICTURE IS, just two hours ago and BOOKMARKED it then for FUTURE USE . And that was not Airwar.

I mean the PHOTO

Edit to say: No doubt it's yours LM.

Although the site calls it СМ-3(5).......

Well it looks like LM is there again, Reg did mention it in passing but didn't settle

It's the Alekseyev SM-4

The catalogue on the Airwar site lists the SM-4, but the page is headed SM-3, scroll down and the picture is repeated with the correct title!!


Google Translate

LM has control yet again! Thank you for aiding my decision Reg ! Go for it LM, New Balls please!!

That settles it then.

I can now decide, and in lieu of RRs' post, OPEN HOUSE.

Please don't leave it up for two days Martin, or the weekend might get boring.

GO........
