I have an airplane but I'm not sure what it is. It's got to be old, just the quality of the material (skin etc) is something you don't see in the ARFs of at least the last 20+ years. Even the ring around the motor is made of metal, not plastic.

If you know what it might be please let me know, thanks.

That looks a lot like one of the GeeBee planes. If you'll give us a pic with the wing installed so we can see the proportions of it we can make a better guess. That does look like a painted finish, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's old. Plenty of guys are still building planes using the old methods, although you are right- no ARF comes out of the box looking like that.

That airplane is a contest quality scale model of the Boeing P-26 fighter which was I believe the first US monoplane fighter to acheve squadron service. I doubt that it was from a kit more likely from published plans but not sure of that.

Definitely a Boeing P-26 Peashooter

Looks nice too - but what is the origin of the model?
What size is it? (span, length)
Does/did it have an engine? What?
Looks as if it has electronics in there. What exactly are they? (brand, model)
How did you get it? Any clues there?

Having independent servos for ailerons, it cannot be a very old kit.

Here is a thread for building a similar kit:

If 80" wingspan, may be this one?:
