I knew that one was too easy. One-off prototype, I believe. Didn't Flettner develop the first production rotor helicopter?

Flettner Fl 282.

Kolibri is such a great name. Hummingbird.

Hint: Early pre-WW2 photo. This Air Group went on to combat, first in China and later in SWPA (renamed 707 Kokutai).

Good call, Graeme.

At first glance, I was thinking a Gotha Go146, but the nose was a bit long.

I swear, you show a pic of a rivet and the man will tell you the plane, mark, where it was built and what the riveter had for lunch!

Thanks, but that's not really me. I just have a reasonable memory and still remember seeing it in a 1977 edition of Air International in a section called Plane Facts where readers would write in requesting information on an aircraft.
Remember those days - when people would write?

Is that a Schwartz made propeller? Logo doesn't look VDM.

Thanks!

Probably a Schwartz, from the looks of the logo.
It certainly doesn't look like VDM, Heine or Junkers.
Heine was about equal to Schwartz in regards to supplying two-bladed props to the German aircraft industry.

Thanks, for the reply.

The Ao 192 would make a nice model. Very sleek looking.
