It looks a tad Italian I think.

I can confirm that it's not a British aircraft

Well part of my brain is saying Dornier, but the radial engines aren't right for that ??

Well I'm stumped. 1st thought was Potez, Koolhoven or Savoia-Marchetti but I can't find anything quite like that. Polish PWS-something-or-other?

Wow! Correct! I thought this would have run on longer.
My next clue was going to be that you'll need the patience of Mother Theresa (it's allied reporting name)

In fairness I had to look it up! Congrats, I really struggled with that. I was hung up on it being European. Surprising how absolutely natural it looks in those colours!

Once I'd made a new template for the Prestwick/Ki-59 (albeit with a revised cargo door) I thought I'd give Paran a light transport and communications aircraft with a splinter type camo that looks OK from the side but stretches horribly across the broad upper fuselage. It looks the part though.

That lower shot looks like it's a three engine craft which I don't think would be out of place.

I've never even heard of a Ki-59.
It doesn't look very 'Japanese' either, far too stylish for their pre-WWII designers, but it works well in your scenarios.

That really is a nice looking aeroplane
I would have had had no idea that it was Japanese and would have gone down the Italian route if asked.

A 'beta' Gloster CXP-1001 was released by the DAT boys recently with a basic Republic of China (Taiwan) skin and this was of enormous interest to me so I've decided to skin it from scratch and this RAF prototype is my first offering although I should add that it's still a WIP as I need to add more weathering and tidy up a few things. Anyway, about 46 years ago, the Putnam book on 'Gloster Aircraft since 1917' was one of just three aircraft books in the local library and I reckon that it's this book with it's substantial section on Gloster Projects that made me a whiffer! The CXP-1001 was one such Gloster project but one that had some traction in so much that the Chinese Nationalist Government were keen enough to have a Gloster team spend about a year working with a small team of Chinese design engineers before calling it off due to the political situation in China. Tantalisingly, the Putnam book mentions that a technical mission was sent to the United States at the same time and I wonder if any paper projects came out of this?
Anyway, back to the CXP-1001, loads of whif potential in this one!
