Close enough hesham. I have it as the Convair GETOL, which took many forms but I see it is also referred to as the PD-104. Seems some had integral engines built into the wing, another design had props. But they all shared the same basic planform.

Here is one particular model:



You have control hesham. As usual if you have nothing to post please declare Open House so that others may continue.

Hi guys, apologies for my absence!

can this perchance be something like a CASA Aviojet? Is it European?

Best regards

Edit: I see now the ATTA-3000 guess: has not that plane been posted as a challenge by skytrain himself a while ago... http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...enge-1107.html here? Then, I reckon it can't be the same plane... the canopy also looks different...

Edit-2: Too short a tail section to be the CASA
