At first I thought it was a Hudson but then saw the single rudder. Any ideas?

Is it a JU 252? Shame you can't see the nose.

Could be, it maybe just the angle of the plane but it seemed rather short and fat, that's what threw me. You could be right Dave, a JU-252 Tri-motor.

If I can find it again, although just before and just after this pic there is nothing of this aircraft. Just this clip.

Cant find the exact one, but difficult on a mobile, need a keyboard!

Here we go, it's this clip:

They start getting into the plane (which doesn't seem very big) at 3:07. The only time you see the nose is from underneath around the 3:20 mark

That looks like the one Mike, thanks for that. Still no idea what it is though.

No, me either, but hopefully it makes it easier for those in the know to work it out!

Looks to me like a Savioa Marchetti SM 82 Marsupiale , a bigger brother to the SM 79 Sparviero. It was a Trimotor transport operated by the Italians and as this pic shows a few got used by the Luftwaffe too , cheers tony

I am not going to get one as me and aircraft have a severe hatred of each other...I built 2 1/144 scale ages ago and they turned out really well, but since then, despite the scale, I just cannot build them...a blindfolded chimp can do better.

However, I do enjoy looking at the fine aircraft models on here and watching them, this one just puzzled me...so ask the experts.
