Sorry OBAman you were just pipped at the post by Noyade as it is indeed the Sunrise S-1600 Areion.
Thanks Mel. OBAman, welcome to the forum and as a welcoming gift I would like to hand control over to you. Looking forward to your silhouette. Cheers.

Off thread a bit, but trying to help.

If anyone has a line drawing which is not a silhouette, then PM it to me and I'll draw you one (part of my job is graphics).

Why thank you Noyade. That is a generous gesture for a newcomer and I appreciate it.

That does leave me trying to find a silhouette quite quickly though and I do not know what has gone before so apologies if my effort looks a bit 'samey', but I would like to post this feederliner from several decades ago;

G'day OBAman. I was torn between the Cuncliffe-Owen Concordia and the Peking NR.I, but since it looks like a 'Punnett' silhouette I'll go with the Chinese Peking NR.I of of 1958.

Thanks OBAman. This is a poor quality image but solvable...

Good enough for me drawbarz considering the silhouette quality. From the same 'family' it's meant to depict the earlier Dassault 410 Spirale.

Over to you.

carson1934's challenge

skytrain10. I dont know about a long shot. If the Bánhidi Gerle 18 is the same as the Bánhidi "Csikó" then I would say you have hit the nail on the head. However, I reckon carson1934 will agree that the floor is yours. We await his confirmation.

You almost made it Skytrain...it is the Banhidi "Csikò"of which I'm trying to put an image through.
This is close enough for me therefore, as you say, it's your turn for a challenge
carson1934

Hope you can see it

Thank you. A good challenge. I was struggling a little as I couldn't find a drawing/picture of the Gerle 18, only a description. I was pretty sure it was a Banhidi product, but I confess it was a bit of a guess. Now I have done some more research it looks like the Gerle 18 and Csiko were similar, save for the nose/cowling

Anyway here is my offering:

Hi Skytrain,
Offhand I wouldn't know what your biplane is and I'll try to do some researching however I can see that it sported a nice upholstered seat for the pilot...

Hi systrain.
The shorter top wing made me look at the Czech Avia fighter series but your line drawing seems to be a compilation of a BH-21 front with the tail of say a BH-26. Am I anywhere near close?

Not too sure about the "amended" fin shape, but looks Avia[ish]
