I thought the surrounds looked very Japanese - the machine far left looks like a Tachikawa Ki-74 - but this one escapes me too !

Moses03 is right. Its from the Far East.:ernae:
Lefty is closer and is correct with he builder, but what Ki- number???:ernae:
Year 1945. Number: 1
You got me, Wout - it ain't the 77, so must be a very hush-hush Tachikawa !
Not in my books anyway.
Off to a wedding today (yawn - I hate weddings) so won't be forumming for another 48 hrs or so.
The closest I have found so far is the Tachikawa Ki-92. Not sure at all though.
Moss03, It is the Ki-92!
That picture I posted is the only one I have ever seen of the Ki-92. Yours is a new one to me.
Time to turn back the clock-
This one was designed for army use but nothing came of it.
Here is a side view.
This angle will surely give away it's famous lineage...
Not a Bleriot, but is a French lady. This was the last aircraft from this designer.
This one was from Hubert Latham of Antoinette fame. The Antoinette Military Monoplane or Antoinette Monobloc of 1911.
Here is one you might like- a floater!
Never let a floater go by..........
This little lady is a Commonwealth Trimmer, which sounds as though she ought to be Australian, but in fact came all the way from Long Island N.Y.
Didn't think it would last. A stout to the Scotsman.
Thank you Kevin.
A nice purposeful transport now...
The 3-bladed prop is a bit unusual for this vintage. Maybe something German or a tad further east?
Go East, young man........ (or maybe south-east)
OK, another East European Horror sails away unmolested - this is the ICAR Turing, built in Rumania in 1937.
Back to matters aquatic - an easy one - ?
1937 eh? Thought it was a late 1920's design.
The flashy amphib is a Beriev MBR-5.
Hmm...I have that same one labeled MBR-5. Another designation maybe?
Edit: Found the same pic at this Russian site.
Your Russian site tells more or less the same story - I have it as the Samsonov MBR-5 ! (Gunston's Encyclopaedia)
Just being pedantic - it's my age you know - over to you sir.
(Been at a funeral today - great fun - MUCH better than weddings ! :ernae
Thanks. Well now that we have that settled, how about something not so old?
Another one I would like to see modeled for FS.
A Grob Strato 2C.
Right on Naki.
The Strato set the world altitude record for manned piston engined aircraft at 60,897' in 1995.
