Hello guys I found this site about two weeks ago and have learned a lot from it. It is a great site. I have a pic of an aircraft and I would like to know what aircraft it is. Can anyone here help? This looks to be the right place. Thanks in advance.

It looks a bit like the Nakajima Ki-27 Kate, but it has twin winshields. Tachikawa built lots of trainer types.

This site will give you a list of Japanese Naval aircraft to compare:
WWII Imperial Japanese Navy Aircraft

Try here for Army types:
Japanese Aircraft of World War 2

If I am not mistaken that looks like the museum at Singapore, so try to google about their collection.

Advanced trainer version of the K-27, produced by Mansyu. The Mansyu Ki-79.
