Looks like a small scale test plane for a bigger flying boat......French?.....otherwise a bit stuck

Very good. A 1/3 scale flying boat. Just need a name...:D Another shot of it...



And this is the full scale 140 tonne monster it was meant to "grow up" to be...

 
wow, heh I like that plane. I'd not mind having a model of it :D
 
It looks familiar to me, but I can't place it. It looks like it might be of US origin, or at least use an American engine.

It looks like a single seater, given the canopy. (the canopy being rather distinctive as well)

Is it a fighter?
 
Good spot on the engine KK, its a Wright Cyclone. However the engine and canopy have been modified from the norm, quite a lot actually.

The plane in the picture has had a rear gun turret removed from behind the pilot, but that was only experimental anyway. it was quite different to begin with but the main fuselage, wings u/c and tail have not been altered at all.
