Not had much chance to pay attention to the thread today....still it is, as a certain person would say, coffee break time. Would this be a Moskalyev project?

You're quite right skytrain, 'tiz my coffee time!

Is it a Belyayev OI-2 Twin AeroKobra ?? Never been able to find any photos or details, only a teensy image on the web, guess it's only in a book somewhere!

Belyayev 01-2 Twin AeroKobra
I can't find that one. The web comes up with nothing, but I found mine on the net.

I'll investigate further. Check e-mail.

I'd go with the AeroKobra suggestion. It certainly looks like a P-39 in general shape.

THe Bljaev OI-2 ....

Well I assume from LM's comment
I can't find that one
that its not one of those.

Can we assume this is a fighter/attack aircraft project?

Found it TC.

I've been using the Russian spelling, which RR has done.

All yours mate. Which one would you like up next?

OK, seems like I may have got the spelling wrong (or at least the website I found did)

How about the Bljaev OI-2

WINGS PALETTE - Bljaev OI-2 - USSR/Russia

Bugger, bugger, someone else has found "my website" !!

I have obviously found the bigger image now.

Seeing as another "certain person" is on line, you might as well put up the one you did this morning, it'll go before I have a chance to put my mug away, really hectic, but I'll leave my light on and check as often as I can.
