The 1949 Avro Canada Jetliner. No maker's mark but B. Clay previously wrote that it's Tudor Rose.

More photos ! It is a nice scale model and the wingspan is 5 1/4." I have owned this one for over 20 years now.

Tudor Rose! ...I've heard that name! I have some flat cast '50s jets with that marque. I am including photos of same - and pointing out that they include a cast in marque which doesn't seem to appear on this Jetliner.
That's an awesome Jetliner! Translucent plastic as well - looks good enough to eat!
Brilliant piece of a very rare bird!
Who can tell us more about Tudor Rose? Barry?

Alca Capell ?

"Alca Capell"

This is the name of a Spanish plastic manufacturer I had not heard of before.

Ed "Ice" Berg posted a photo of a dolphin-shaped toy space ship by this brand on his blog. Though the wheels are green, rather than red, they look like the wheels on this toy plane. They lack the metal axle.

Here is a link to another variant in yellow/red. The yellow part looks translucent rather than transparent like mine. The seller didn't know the real manufacturer either.
