Good photo Wurger.
The Tupolev PS-9. In 1934 one was 'dressed' as a crocodile. It was connected with a peculiar institution in Soviet aviation, the 'Agitation' Squadron 'Maxim Gorki'.

It looks like the French or Italian one but I don't have any idea.It won't be easy to guess.

Very impressive Evan. Well done! The Orkan is described as "a cross between the Breda 88 and Breguet 690".
Congratulations also on your recent writing success.

It looks as if it could have been something a little bit special

The first version of Scorpion was prepared in December of 1988.At the beginning of 1991 the project was corrected ( the 1:1 scale model of Scorpion shows the conception from that period of time) in order to get higher speed and payload.In 1993 there was made a decision to continue the project but because of the politic changes in Poland in that time, the project was shortly abondoned.
So, the project is almost 20 years old.
