I looked for Kawasaki and 5-97 but turned up nothing.  I can't seem to find it on any sites dealing with Japanese aircraft either...  ::)

Something rang a bell in my single brain cell. I've been doing this for a long time. ;)

There's quite a lot of information on that drawing which helps identify it.

I looked at the first post and said (to myself) "It shouldn't take long to identify a Nate!".

Seems I was right. :)

It was the Kawasaki thing that threw me.  That and the fact that I'm not that good...  ;)
