Silhouette challenge

[MReyn24050]

Next challenge

Thanks RETDPI, that was a great challenge. In fact I found the silhouette of the AISA HM-1 that had the correct wings, tailplane and engine but had the two open cockpits and disregarded it until you posted the AISA I-115.
Here is the next one but I do not think it will last the weekend.

I'm thinking along the lines... Some Beech model? Don't think it's the Debonair.

Well I was going to suggest the gorgeous Scintex Rubis but I know I'm wrong... It's very attractive, and I hope a survivor exists?

Mel's Challenge

dazdaz, this one is not from Beechcraft. treadigraph not the gorgeous Scintex Rubis either. I am not sure if one still exists, I will do some digging.

Mel's Challenge

Sorry chaps not the Procaer F 15 Picchio nor Wassmer. This bird was not built in Europe. Soory for the delay in the response.

Well we don't seem to be getting far with this one, perhaps we should go further East but that depends where one live if the world.

It isn't an early Zlin is it?

[MReyn24050]

Mel's Challenge

No, not a Zlin. One must go much further east than the home of the Zlin.

Mel, were you able to find out if your mystery aircraft is still extant?
I think it is a Kawasaki KAL-1.

[MReyn24050]

Mel's Challenge

Hi Bri, it is indeed the Kawasaki KAL-1

No The only one I could find flying was a RC Model

You have control.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. Great challenge as usual. Here is the next silhouette:

Friend or foe? Do you shoot or hold your fire? What is it?

[chiglet]

Vickers 432?

[S'land]

How about one of thos flying insects that bite and cause malaria?

The Focke-Wolf FW 57 Moskito.

If so one would certainly swat it.

[JEM60]

Westland Welkin??

[RETDPI]

"Two bob for every one that you shoot down lads:
Half a crown if it's German."

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Vickers 432, nor the Westland Welkin. Not the Focke-Wulf FW.57 either, but it is German.

[S'land]

Let's try the Messerschmitt ME 410 Hornisse.

[RETDPI]

I get the impression its twin finned with the fins slightly inset. A bit too much perhaps for what looks otherwise quite early Ju 288 like around the wing and that could be a glass nose....
I would have gone for an early 288 at a push - but for those engines!
