IJN Floatplane

[P38Lover]

A friend is trying to id WW2 floatplane with IJN markings. It is a biplane with an enclosed cockpit. There is a machine gun in the rear cockpit area. The engine appears to be a V12 inline. Can anyone id this plane.

Hi, P38Lover,

It would be IJN Type 94 Float Plane (Kawanishi E7K1, not K2).

Thanks that is exactly the plane I was looking for. As a plastic modeler it's nice to know others are willing to be so friendly.
