Another thought.

The additional tailplane looks like a modification, so did this start as a landplane?

Not sure that the tail has been modded and its not "additional" but you are right in that this is derived from a landplane

It's got the tail of the B1M/2MT, but apart from that nothing fits.

Well, close enough...its the Mitsubishi 2MT4, a one off floatplane conversion of the B1M1. No photo on the net, just the 3-view.

All yours mate

Gentlemen, greetings from Waimar, the town of Goethe, Schiller, and a bunch of others - a two-day trip with my daughter.

LM yours looks like Scaffoldings Mk 3

Or Tarrant Tabor on floats.

extract meaningful clues that would come up in a goggle search without resorting to Russian!
Try sometimes www-dot-translate-dot-ru. I think it produces better translations from Russian to English than Giggle (although I have not really systematically compared). The site is in Russian, but intuitive enough.
