It's a Rufe.

Who makes it?

It's by Warmaster. Looks to be released this year, despite having been canceled last year.

The original Warmaster list that was announced included, aside from this rather inaccurate Rufe, the Buffalo, FW-190, F6F, Mig-3 P-38, MS-205, ME-262, MS-406, Frank and Spitfire. I think that this "new" line may, in fact , be a reincarnation of the IXO series, sans the black panel lines. I hope I'm wrong on this. :?

No, this picture is of a Warmaster model, I received the pictures personally from the manufacturer in China. I'll post some additional pictures tonight.

I'm glad to hear that this Rufe is based on a totally new tooling, which is, I assume what you are saying. However its tail, in particular does not seem to be an accurate rendition. Perhaps I'm wrong on this, so I would appreciate any other pictures, especially of the tail and under surfaces, that you can provide. Also, any idea about other planes that may be included? Thanks.
