EKW C-3603
During World War II, the Swiss Air Force had two standard fighter aircraft alongside the Me-109: the EKW C-36 and the MS-3800. I discovered the C-3603 presented here at Volare Products as a short kit. The model has a wingspan of 25 inches and is painted in the so-called neutrality livery of the 1940s.

For a second there I thought it was a real airplane! 
Would love to hear from anyone in Northern Alberta.

The original plan was to make a cookup of six models from the C-3601. In the end, only three were finished by the deadline: those by Chris (Chris46), Andreas (rubberfly), and me (ZiP.58).
There are few pictures of all three together. C-521 (Chris), without registration and trimmed for optimal flight performance (Andreas), and C-516 (Pete).

and two more in flight.

Sometimes all three models fly with three-bladed propellers.

Oh, the gremlin has struck again!
EKW C-3603, not C-3601.
