Right on Green. Thought the 3-bladed prop might give moments pause.
(I see what you did there Rob). ;)

Cheers.
All I have is a model...

My first reaction was de Havilland Don, but there are too many dissimilarities, perhaps.
G'day mate.
Not the Don. When they stopped looking at the model and built it - I'm pretty sure this is how the tail turned out....

Think they messed around with the tail quite a bit ! It's the Avro Athena.
They ended up with a tail about as ugly as you can get.....
Well done. :very_drunk:
All yours.
Thanks, G. Here's one that I couldn't find on a search, so if it has been here before, apologies.
I like it, anyway.
First thought about Arado because of the tail, however, that was the wrong track.
That plane is the Nieuport-Delage NiD 122.
Not too bad looks for a French aircraft. :very_drunk:
I agree on all counts, Robert - :icon29:
Thanks, Mike.
I guess this biplane shouldn't bother you for too long.
This was the most produced aircraft of this manufacturer with about as many aircraft built of that stable as all others combined.
This European manufacturer literally terminated to exist in 1940.
Koolhoven FK 51

Finally, it is the Koolhoven. :encouragement:
Wouldn't have thought that this mystery would last so long.
Over to you, Chris. :icon29:
I waited for awhile to give someone else a chance. Here's another biplane.
Chris
That, sir, is the Cox-Klemin TW-2.
It was the tail of the Koolhoven that was foxing me - it being the earlier 'Spanish' rounded model. Spent a long time convinced it was a Meridionali !
you got it. I knew it but the roundel on the wing helped me.
Chris
Thanks Chris. Here's a twin - not difficult but a debutante here......maybe !
Tyrov/Tairov Ta-3?
Yes, G, or sometimes called OKO-6bis. Bit of a mystery ship. Over to you :very_drunk:
Cheers Mike!

Besson MB.411?
Think I'll leave this to our chums in Gaul, G !
Have been doing a bit of research on the Bessons since you posted it - and am curious about the three-view in Morareau's Aeronefs de L'Aviation Maritime.
This shows a quite different tail conformation to the more commonly depicted one, which is more or less identical to the MB35, which was originally intended for the Surcouf.
I know there were only two built - wonder if they were different ?
