Thanks Noyade . Now if the mods would allow a "What is this supposed to be ....." thread then your Armagnac artist would provide a candidate , as would the perpetrator of this "Comet"
But you can't be too hard on them when a real aircraft designer produced this....

Doug is that the Aerocentre N.C. 3020 Belphegor which we had in Mel's Post #2151? Or have I been suckered by a look-a-like?
(Actually I kinda like that Comet. Thanks for posting that.)

Thank you carson1934, I will be honest although your image was only 112 x 200 pixels on my PC I did take a stab at "Maule" as I thought that might be one of the words in the script that accompanied your image. Hence the question mark in my reply.
Here is the next one the silhouette was magically produced for me by Lightning Mate from a three view line drawing.

No need to apologize MReyn next time I'll be more careful.
But tell me you mention "Lightning mate", is there a way to transform line drawings into silhouettes? I'd appreciate a PM on the subject.
BTW your post #2199, is it US made?
Cheers

Or maybe Neman KhAI-1 (1932), if it isn't the same?

Sorry carson1934 Noyade has just beaten you to it. It is the Kharkov KhAI-1 which was in fact designed by Neman. Carson1934 please see PM.

Noyade you have control.

Thanks Mel. Was the line drawing/silhouette transformation from Gunston's Russian Aircraft? Reason I ask is I noticed a number of important details seem to be lost in the process, nevertheless it's an impressive process. (I've sent you a PM)
