It's the engine which is bugging me
Engine possibly the Shvetsov M-11, a five cylinder air-cooled radial aircraft engine produced in the Soviet Union between 1923 and 1952.

Mel has it, it is the Lazarov LAZ-12...and you have the same picture as me. That engine gave it away in the end!

You have control Mel.

Next Challenge

Thanks skytrain10, I will admit it was the engine that found it for me. Great challenge though that was an aircraft that I did not know existed, good find. This next one will I am sure cause no problems.

Lazarov Laz-12

Very nice challenge Skytrain.
When I saw the engine cowling I first thought it was russian but didn't go any further till it was found out that it was bulgarian (one-off).

Thanks Carson...certainly not a widely known make of aircraft. Ultimately that ungainly engine gave the game away!

Thank you Mel.

Following this, here's another twin-boom design which should be easy.
Check carefully for my mistake when I drew it.......

Carson, check PMs.

Mel,

Now you have it in one - good call.

Thanks LM, I know what you mean. This one will cause no problems although it is not quite what it seems.

"This one will cause no problems although it is not quite what it seems."

You jest O' wise one.

Methinks we'll have to wait for the more informed members of this society.

Bugger.....

Surely the forward fuselage is wrong for a Caproni?
