Thanks mate!
It certainly looks like the Weserflug P 2147
Completely new to me which is why I enjoy this thread. For a brief second, when I first saw it, I thought it was this...

The Honningstad Finnmark? Nope, sorry mate, but I did think yours was this for a brief period!
Like the Weser this is a German project. Remember searching through the RLM numbers looking for a "high speed utility transport" a while back? Have another go, this time a "utility amphibian."

German Military Aircraft Designations (1933-1945)

Yay! You got there! Intended to be powered by two 700 hp Gnome-Rhone engines it was to have a maximum speed of 310 km/h at SL and a range of 800 km with a crew of 2 and 8 passengers.

Your control.
