Tom,

forget about it, you won't find any Curare pictures that look anything like your model. Often, people unfamiliar with classics see there is an anhedral stab, a tuned pipe and retracts and automatically say it's a Curare - probably because they don't know any other classic pattern models.

I could probably run off at least 10 different aspects of your model after looking at the pics for 10 seconds that don't conform with Hanno's design - it's not a Curare.

What it is I'm not sure but I strongly suspect it is an American or English design and original kit - unless it is a one off done by someone which is unlikely if it has a glass fuse. The swept back wing is a key aspect of the design as is that canopy which has a high point much further back than the vast majority of classics during the late 70's and 80's. I have the feeling it is a mid-70's design given the shape of the vertical and the upright engine configuration but the concealed pipe under the fuse dates it a little later. It is also possible that it was an earlier vintage kit which was built many years later with a few variations on the original design concept (e.g., the concealed pipe).

BTW, to answer you last question, yes, there is a larger sibling to the Curare called the Super Curare but it is very similar in design to the original - there are only few pictures of SC's on the net.

David.
