Default RE: Help identifying old plastic pattern plane

Before I posted the question, I tried to research this plane and the Jester was the closest I could find but it's a little off from the Jester, especially the length and location of the cockpit. The tail also appears a little different, at least from the pictures I found. The engine did not come with the plane and was put there to hold the nose down while I took the pictures. It is an old Super Tigre 56 that I inherited from my wife's dad. It had been sitting for forty years or so and we disassembled and cleaned it. It started right up and ran like a top and appears to have almost no run time. I will probably use it in this plane and since we have no noise restrictions at our field, I want to keep it original with just the baffle which closes at idle. Thanks for those that offered suggestions on this plane so far.
