Sorry, forgot to mention it is in fact an Avia as is the Trimotor. Download at SOH.

Hells , Avia - that,s a start , i have photos here off types very similar , took a while before a smack on the back off my head made me think Czech but as yet hav,nt found anything that looks like this , the Latecoere was close . I'll keep a search on this one .

Ian... Mr. Shupe has done 2 models:

Thanks Charl , hells they very much look more or part early Lockheed Vega , the No. 51 156 did not appear in any of my quik grab to find , the trimoter has a little Fokker mixed in as well from looks .

Gives me some reference to look for least in shape .

I'll put you out of your misery...They were made by Skoda, and not exactly mass-produced:

The Avia 156 was a single-engined high-wing cantilever monoplane that first flew in 1934. Powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Ydrs inline piston engine and had fixed tail wheel landing gear.[1] The Avia 156 performed well in test flights but only a prototype was built.
