Kawanishi or Kawasaki, Kawhatever... don't remember the model. This may have been the one w/folding wings, carried on a sub in an airtight deck hangar...?

Thanks to a certain source I now know the answer probably! Interesting how the engine is a copy of the Daimler Benz 601 engine (The Me-109 power source)

I love Mountain Haze!
