An interesting new kit of an enigmatic aircraft. However, I'm kinda curious of the business decision to make a modern kit of an aircraft that never flew and had only one example built when there's other IJA/IJN aircraft that were built in quantity and served throughout the war (I'm looking at you Aichi E13A Jake!)
I agree, however I'd pick the Aichi E16A1 Paul, with the option to have the dive-brakes on the front struts of the large N-struts of the floats deployed/open.
Ironically, the Ta-Go would be the easiest WW2 Japanese aircraft for a homebuilder to replicate into a real flying "warbird" it is a much-simplified Bucker Jungmeister after-all...so simplified the upper wing was discarded.
