Silhouette challenge
Ha! Funny guy! 
I dunno. If I turn the brightness down, take a few steps back and squint, the nose reminds me of the Thalman T-4. So..I was thinking, is it American and did it fly?

"and is in a museum"
Not wanting to mislead. I understood it was in a museum but actually I can only find museum records of its existence in 1936/37..... It was built and registered.
Sorry.. yes, its American.

Thank you RR. I know very little about the R-6, except that it was built in Oakland, California. I agree with dazdaz that it looked a 2-CVish. I seem to recall that one of the early helicopters, possibly from Bell, had a similar body shape and construction.
Here is the next obscure aeroplane.

I said in an earlier post that I always felt that if I knew about an aircraft, everyone else would as well. The reverse is also true, if I have only just found out about an aircraft by accident and know very little about everyone else will be in the same boat.
Noyade has yet again proved me wrong, in 44 minutes.
It is indeed the Tomashevich Pegas.
Designed by Dmitry Ludvigovich Tomashevich, who had worked with Tupolev, the 111 'Pegas' was a single seat, twin engined, Ground Attack aircraft from 1943. Five aircraft were built, the first version was a bi-plane. Athough simple to build, it was made of plywood and other simple materials, the aircraft was not put into service and the project was cancelled.
Your turn Noyade.

Thanks S'land. I think a good library, good internet navigation skills, a good memory and lottsa luck help. So far for me it's the memory.
Here's a new one...
