Is it something re-engined from originally radials - like a Ki-45 ?

Morning Reg. You're tough, you'll get over it.

Give me a minute or two and I'll provide the original photo.

No mate.

Something wearing a red star?

In some ways it looks like a Tupolev AR-2.

Thanks Mate, a great compliment

Thanks Graeme, but I just Giggled (see e-mail for translation) 'Russia Bomber' and a certain web site - all just following Mate's guidance.

Mate, can you take this over from me - I have been directed to go into a museum now…. .

Nice, but is it effective?

'Russia Bomber'
Doesn't seem fair...it wasn't even a bomber.
