Honestly..? I just didn't feel like using a blueprint, and I wanted to do a seaplane (that's a first!)
And so, I cobbled together an IJN floatplane. It's reminiscent of existing craft such as the Rufe or Rex, yet completely fictional. I believe it looks the part... something that might have been built at the time and, if it had, would have been completely unremarkable.
Controls? VTOL down for flaps, there's trim, and AG1 allows you to steer when in the water. I gave the plane a few Type 99 bombs and 20mm cannons to do some damage, but it's not particularly fast or nimble.
On takeoff; half flaps, some trim, elevator up and full throttle. Tenkai!

@BogdanX Thanks!
Oh yes. That 45° angled fuselage for the float is a very part-efficient technique.
