Hi This is an FMA Ae C1 Triplaza (3 seater ) it was the first aircraft totally built and designed in Argentina in 1931. The model was built from plans by Jose Guindani who has a good selection of model plans on Outer Zone. If you search OZ by his name you will find them. Well worth a look!
I enlarged the model from it's original 16" to 25" to make it easier for me to build ;D The model has not yet flown.

Any flight reports yet, Dave?
Yellow and red go so well together. Beautiful subject matter and so historically important.
Sorry fellas, went away for Easter and missed your reply's
Thanks to all for your Interest. No Jeremy I haven't flown it yet. Must get around to it!
Here you go, Dave
Well done Jeremy, no excuse mow! ;D
Good looking aircraft. I wonder if you will find yourself explaining to people that it is not an Aispeed Courier, though a closer inspection reveals that it isn't.
