I originally though Corsair but the wings don't fit. More research is in order.

Lou

FW 190 ?

[Boomerang]

Not a Corsair or a 190.....

Curtiss Hawk 75?

Lou

A type of Curtiss-Wright?

[Boomerang]

Close and closer.

Curtiss - Wright CW-21.

An interesting aeroplane. Used by the Dutch in the East Indies. No armour plating or self sealing tanks.

Eighty years since Singapore, Hong Kong, Java and Darwin.

Decals printed. Still need to get a good copy of some side numbers.
