Hi Lou, this is a Fleet 50k Freighter, CF-BJW Canadian Airways lease one in the late 30", Fleet painted it in their colour  in the hope of selling one to them. Was returned, under powered was the main reason. There is one in Ottawa museum for further restoration... Cheers. P.S. Austin Airways used it with CF-BDX. They also had Norseman and Husky.

Never heard of this plane before. The vibrant color scheme and complex construction combine to make this a wonderful model.
