It did eventually become a long-range transport
Didn't almost all French bombers surviving the war become "colonial transport aircraft"?

Mayebe yet another silhouette where there is more to it than it seems - including twin tail and four engines ?

It has to be mid-wing, and probably not radial engined, which is what made me think Japanese, but it's not a Mitsubishi.

You've lost me mate. Are you saying that because it's not a Mitsubishi it can't be Japanese?

You mean something like Nakajima Ki-19?

The fourth prototype was converted to the mail plane in April 1939 it got the new designation N-19. It was commonly referred to as the N-19 Long-Range Communications Aircraft and sold to the Domei Tsushin (Domei Press Agency), under registration J-BACN and was named Domei No.2

No. I am asking if it is Nakajima LB-2.

Adapted for civil use, the LB-2 prototype's bomb bay was replaced with a fuel tank and a cabin for six passengers was fitted, with the bombardier's position in the nose was converted to store luggage. Mantchukuo National Airways.

I was in Japan before you asked your questions and based on my realization that ONLY Mitshubishi was rebutted. You have to read Graeme upside down from a mirror. That's what he does to your silhouettes.

Post your next one upside-down then.

Next? He's got a green one.
