Country:  | Taking a DH Hornet a give her high-altitude wingtips would have been a cheaper alternative. And as far as I remember the armament of the Vickers would have been a meager four .303 machine guns. Or was this the Mosquito-NF-conversion? I have to check this.  | |

Country: | That should be enough  But with a ventral pack it would have looked strange, like a pregnant Mossi on Steroids And the four MG equipment was for the Mosquito NKF Mk. XV. Now that I have access to my sources... | |

Was used as a test bed by Pratt & Whitney for their engines in the 1940s & 50s - the wing-engines would be feathered during flight. | |

Country: | it looks kinda like an argentinian Ae.C.2, but it has a different engine from the pic I have in a book, but it is the closest thing I've found.
Now I've just found your pic on a site, Escuela De Aeromodelismo Cutral Co - Ae. C. 2 - Ae. M. e. 1
and caption reads Ae.C.1 Prototipo, but C.1's had closed cockpit, and the same pic I mention above as C.2 is described here as Ae.M.E.1, so now I am stumped.
At least it is an FMA | |
