Hi Graeme,
That looks like a pretty good call and it gets my vote (or its Aka ANT-40)! My only concern is the T/E wing fillets seem a bit larger on the silhouette, but that may be just an illusion, or an artefact of the process.
Hopefully someone else will confirm too!
PM sent re winged thing
Tupolev SB 2....?

Definitely the SB-RK AR2.
Not too sure how to post links, but this might help.
Tu-SB-RK / Arhangelsky Ar-2

Good morning Gents !
That's better, the Archangel Ar-2 looks much more like it and answers my concern over the differences to the SB-2, alas I had no time to follow it up earlier this morning.
Thanks for the link SD, To me that matches Karlark's silhouette exactly
Good shot Ken

Morning David,
Karl did say to carry on if there was an correct answer " please move forward once confirmed by anyone" With a closer look (and I'm properly awake now and have changed my mind), I'd say that SD's link confirms Ken's first post #4243 this morning, would you second that and give control to skytrain?
Coffee break's over now, seeya later if work permits

I'll certainly second it and invite Ken to take the thread.
So, I'll accept the nomination (sound's like I'm at an awards ceremony
) from Trevor and David.....Stand-by gents

Next one:
The little "nick" in the canopy is where it was slid slightly back in the photo I used.

Methinks it has been parked with the nosewheel fairly well turned to the right.
Therefore the rudder would also be and so the fin/rudder silhouette profile may not reflect the true shape.

One more question - is it available with fixed gear as well?
French, Ken?
