Back to the job in hand.

The challenge looks like it has a radial engine, which I find difficult to believe.

Is that a fuel tank above the wing?

Oskbes MAI-223
Not one of those Graeme

It does, although there are non-radial engine options.

Is that a fuel tank above the wing
It could well be but I don't have that much detail.

No rotors.
Thought you must have left them off...its a dead ringer otherwise.

So no rotors, no wings.....its ability to fly seems a little limited. Is there a shrouded fan at the back?
