Those look like Nieuport 11's (possibly 17's) Interesting as I was unaware Japan operated that type. Were they License built? or imported?

These are the Nieuport 81E.2 or 83E.2 trainers. Both variants were build in Japan under a licence by Mitsubishi and Nakajima. The Mitsubishi Army Type Ko 1 (Nieuport 81) and the Nakajima Army Type Ko 2 (Nieuport 83).

Thanks Wurger, I still can not see the 2nd seating position on them, but I am sure it is hidden under the upper wing.

I see. But these Japanese Nieuports didn't have two separate cockpits but a long one for both the pupil and instructor. The requested pic isn't of the great quality but in the enlarged screenshots you may notice the long cockpit openings.



 
This is a 1:1 scale bike. Suit 9 or ten year old.
Made by a 75 year old gentleman.

Interesting part - the internal for the bell and speedo are the only parts not made entirely of wood.

Chain, wheels (no tyres) frame, seat etc.

That is scratch building. Best part is he is a short fella and he rode it around the display shed at the
local show a few years ago.


 
Some of my favorite subject this morning. The first photo was very vague on information. The second I have seen a few times. The third picture I first ran across when I was in fourth grade, so it's been out there. Everyone have a splendid day in your part of the world, and be safe!
