Inhomogeneous exact solutions of General Relativity with zero cosmological constant have been used in the literature to challenge the \Lambda CDM model. From one patch Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) models to axially symmetric quasi-spherical Szekeres (QSS) Swiss-cheese models, some of them are able to reproduce to a good accuracy the cosmological data. It has been shown in the literature that a zero-\Lambda -LTB model with a central observer can be fully determined by two data sets. We demonstrate that an axially symmetric zero-\Lambda -QSS model with an observer located at the origin can be fully reconstructed from three data sets, number counts, luminosity distance and redshift drift. This is a first step towards a future demonstration involving five data sets and the most general Szekeres model.
