I've never seen such an inventive use of a roll of toilet tissue on an airplane...

Don't worry. It just took some time.

An Italian trainer/liaison aircraft with 180 degree retractable tailwheel type undercarriage with a Hirth or Argus inverted V type engine carrying a German SC type bomb that seems way to big for it.

Do I win?

No win yet.

Italian it is - but not trainer/liaison
Not Hirth/Argus either. I think the fairly large propeller would indicate a somewhat more powerful engine.
Especially considering the size of the bomb. Which I haven't got the faintest idea what is.
And a name would be appreciated

How about the:  Caproni Ca.355 Dip

The Caproni Ca.335 was an Italian single-engined fighter-bomber/reconnaissance aircraft of the 1930s. It was designed by Caproni to meet a requirement of the Belgian Air Force, with it being planned that the aircraft would be built under licence by the Belgian company SABCA as the SABCA S.47. Only a single aircraft was built, production plans being stopped by the German invasion of Belgium in May 1940.

It is indeed the Caproni Ca.355.

Very good DHumphrey. You just beat the undefeated champion on the last lap.
Your turn

I like DHumphrey's solutions, for he also gives information, not just names the plane.
Just nitpicking, but according to the Italian wiki page the "Tuffo" or "Dip" was intended as a dive bomber (as also the nickname suggests). It was it's predecessor, the "Maestrale", which was a fighter-bomber/recon plane and which would be built under licence in Belgium.

I really wasn’t trying to win this time. I’ve gone too much anyway. Aught to let someone else go for once.

Cheers!
