Hull with no step and distinctive tail plus the tail markings suggests a Curtiss NC.

Now you are much farther away.
The hull had 2 steps.

If I may be granted latitude for intruding upon the competition could any of you erstwhile folk identify this aircraft? Mock up or actually flyable, the story behind it, history, treatment of the aft nacelles seems rather slap dash. Posted here as I thought it would be the best to get an answer. Many thanks in advance for your indulgence.

Seen it recently Megan, think it was a Curtiss lash up from a P-40 fuselage and wings.

It is from the country between France and the country of Dumbarton.

That might just be a matter of superposition.

Oxenos has it with the Felixstowe Fury

I'll start with canopies and increase the components displayed, as required.

[Asturias56]

Such a fine, state of the art assembly building could only be in the UK, no?

[Jhieminga]

Valmet Vihuri. OH if correct.
