Oh... need to ask my books.
The tail looks U.S. built but... ah, I'll wait for my books

[sniperton]

Mike is right, but I can't tell which subtype and motor version is depicted here.

[SAS~Storebror]

Books say it's a Curtiss Robin.
To narrow down the exact type, this plane looks pretty much like the long-range "C-2" version but it probably isn't.
The engine is definitive a Curtiss Challanger, that funny double-row six cylinder radial engine.
Most probably this is a "C-1" version and it's indicated that it could be reg. no. N325K, in that case the picture would have probably been taken in Torrance, California.
Note that the N325K registration has been reused since, the last plane I know of carrying that registration was a North American T3J/T-39 Sabreliner in 2001.

Best regards - Mike

You are correct Mike.

    This is indeed the Curtis C-1 Robin and thanks for the info on N325K.

Your go.

A sort of "out of competition" airplane, just to entertain you with this beautiful, strange bird until Mike returns with the next quest:

[Cloyd]

That's a wacky beast sniperton. I want one! It's Italian, right?

Savioa-Marchetti S.55?  Think there may still be the remains of one in South America

Close enough?

[sniperton]

Yep, you both are correct, it's the SM S.55. BTW I haven't known that we have a modplane by gio963tto. Thanks for the heads up!

until Mike returns with the next quest

No, no.
I let it stall, my fault.
It's mexchiwa's turn now

Best regards - Mike

I don't have anything, open house

Pretty common aircraft, theoretically it should be easy so I selected some photos in which the design isn't so obvious.

I'm curious if anyone can identify the exact variant of the aircraft.

I prepared 3 photos, if you guys want some help I can upload them, just say it.
