I reckon on the Kawasaki KAT-1 then as that was a trainder. Ironically I was looking at these Kawa's myself the other day so if I'm right my next silhouette will be from the same book.

Yes indeed Carson, well spotted. Incidentally I noticed that this silhouette I posted is from the exact same book as the Sikumbank was. Or at least the silhouette was by the Same man, Gerald Pollinger. What a coincidence!

Sorry Carson, can't see it, but reception at the bottom of the world is usually bad.
To OBAman;
I'm a little late in proceedings, but spot on with the KAT-1 and evans photo was the same I planned on downloading.

This is Carsons image;
Unfortunately mate I'm none the wiser! I was thinking of some Soviet project to militarise the Grigoriovich DG-55 or a Polish PZL project.

This isn't a paper plane....the prototype was almost ready but it was probably destroyed by its own hands to avoid capture by advancing hostile troops...besides its model is to be found in a museum.....This is a big clue isnt'it?

A further clue, projected by eng. Lubomir Ilic and others in 1938. It was to be powered by two Hispano Suiza H38/39 and model was successfully tested in wind tunnel (I believe tests took place in France) but almost ready prototype destroyed to avoid capture as said.

I don't think it is fair to keep this forum in abeyance and to prevent other members from making their own moves.
The aircraft relating to my post #2175 is the Ikarus IK-5 and a description may be found on airwar.ru which is obviously only in russian but as you know a (bad) translation can be obtained immediately.
Also a model is to be found in the aviation museum at Belgrade.
I'll probably be gone for a couple of days therefore....open house
Cheers
