In a strange sort of way, it almost has a Vega feel to it.

Stinson reliant?
Bingo......! Give that man a coconut.

G-BUCH (Previously N9570H) - Stinson V-77 Reliant - 1 x LYCOMING R-680-13.
I thought posting that 2nd shot would make it too easy.

Not jumping in late for any reason, other than I was busy, but the wing-root, the upper windshield which is in line with the lead-edge of the wing, the faired wing struts and the ladder-type step, which are all visible in the original image, had me believing it to be a Gull-Wing Stinson Reliant......I have plans for an 18" model of this, which were given to me be a very dear old friend who is no longer with us......this bird was one of Murray's all time favs.....
