That's a tough one.

Not a German design?

Looks like a Siebel FH 104 with the later Si 204 style canopy.

Afraid not. Actually, I'm kinda messing with you guys. The Luftwaffe paint scheme is bogus.  ;)

I read that it was a German design. Stupid me! :lol


The plane, Aero Ae-45S Super. Pretty plane! Czechs have built quite a few nice looking planes.

Ok, so it is a post war design. I did go through all Czech designs as well but not post war models, but to me it looked like an early Messerschmitt design -which it partly is.

I was pretty sure the engines were aircooled Argus 410s or 411s but those are probably Walther Minors.

Nice one.  :salute

WTG. Yeah the AE-45 is a cool looking plane. (BTW I converted the color photo I found over to B&W just to add to the confusion :devil)

Oh that's clever! Normally I see RVs painted up like P-51s or P-40s here at KTHV but I've never seen a Rand KR-1 painted up like a Japanese fighter before. This is nice.  :aok

Here's an easy peesy one.  :D
