Looks that way. Picture in Flight January 3, 1924 is heavily retouched and the 3-D looks a bit different.
Astra-Sesefski has the same picture un-retouched and another 3-D.
Prototype only was made, so the challenge may be a bit 'imaginary' 3-D.....

Bingo for skytrain10 and RegDep. If I understand well it was a design of a Mr. S.Sesefsky and built by Societe Astra.
Dont`t shoot me, but I think skytrain10 was the first to come with the name Sesefsky.

Good afternoon skytrain,
How very nicely timed for my coffee break, thanks (you just pipped me at lunchtime on the radiator search!!)
Is it a Kalinin K-4 ??

Almost there eh,
Surely not the K-5, that had a different fin shape, there was a drawing that looked a dead ringer for yours except for an exhaust stack. Can't look deeper now though, work beckons so maybe LM can supply the coup-de-grace
Edited to say that the K-1 or K-3 looks closer than the 5
Final edit to mention the K-2. They all seem to have the same illustrations and have only found a 3-view for the 4

Not the K-5....not only did that have a much longer nose (like the K-4) but a different tail as well. You're heading in the wrong direction!
And not the K-3 either....

Well I guess if you put them all down you will get there in the end!
Yes its the K-1....the give away is the nose, which is shorter, more rounded and has a totally different exhaust.
You're control Sinco

Thanks skytrain,
I was too much of a hurry as work calls and the site I found kept showing me the same photo for all of the sub-types.
Better be 013 please LM, bound to go before I get back to the workshop!!
