I don't have a good one. Open house

After a little stall:

[SAS~Storebror]

Despite the fact that the image has been heavily edited, I'd say the engine looks like a japanese design, so this would be one of the many crazy 1930's biplane designs served in the japanese Army/Navy.
No closer idea what it is yet, would have to read a couple of books now...

Best regards - Mike

Yokusaka K5Y?

I know this plane this is Ki-9 (i hope)

In fact the quest photo is only a detail and of such a low quality one that both airplanes fit.

Here's a better pic of the K5Y. Note the shape and position of the marked brace, I think it's closer to the one on the quest photo than in case of the Ki-9:

Sniperton snipes at it. 

the Yokosuka Ki-5.

The ball was thrown to you. Go to the Endzone now.

Here the good Wikipedia entry : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_K5Y

More than 5000 Ki-5 built.

From the entry : "A K5Y of the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps 3rd Ryuko Squadron was credited with sinking the destroyer USS Callaghan on July 29, 1945, the last US warship lost to kamikaze attack during the war."

No magic (or knowledge) here, I simply googled for 'japanese biplane' and found a candidate among the pics within 2 minutes. It took another 2 minutes to verify my hypothesis. The credit goes to Storebror who hinted me/us in the right direction ('Japanese'). So if Mike has another nasty quest (as was the WNF Wn 16), let it come!

Sorry to butt in, but i got one:

[SAS~Storebror]

F-35G

Export version maybe...

Either that or the worlds' most aerodynamic shopping trolley.
