You have control.

Thanks Mel.

Like I said earlier, please let me know if you feel I've over-cropped...

You were on the right path VX275. Your resourcefulness astounds me Mel. :ok:
Well done mate.

Your control.

Thanks Graeme. VX275's comment helped as a flying boat was likely to be the only type to have a bomb bay in the engine nacelle. Here is another boat I am afraid:-

Thinking spaghetti.

Macchi?

MReyn24050 16th Aug 2012 23:12

You are in the right stretch of water, i.e. correct manufacturer.

Noyade 16th Aug 2012 23:55

Had a quick Macchi hunt (never realised there were so many).
May have had some early success - based on the strut pattern....the M.9 bomber?

I'll load this image and compare....hmmm. One or two struts are missing?

Mel's Macchi Madness
 
Mr Macchi certainly built a lot of similar looking flying boats.


One or two struts are missing?
But they do re-appear in the M.18, but now we have a nose gunner - which is not seen in your Macchi Mel?

MReyn24050 17th Aug 2012 09:15

You have it, :ok: my source states that it is the Macchi 18/2000. You have control.

Thanks Mel.

A fighter Terry?

Mr Green's A-Z on the subject, provides a small frontal line drawing...of the Nakajima Ki-12...that looks similar? And from Mr Google...

You are correct,Graeme. It is the Nakajima Ki-12.
