Default Long Shot

I have become the owner of an ARF that needs some parts but I don't know what the model is or who made it and I was hoping that someone here could help me track this thing down. It is totally unassembled and came in a plain white box with no plans or instructions in it. It did have some crumpled newspaper in it that had oriental writing on it and I presume it to be Japanese. It is a float plane with a stepped hull and pod mounted engine above the wing. It has a 60 inch wing span and the fuselage is 50 inches long. The horizontal stabilizer sits on top of the vertical stabilizer, just as does the Sea Master. My guess is that the plane will closely resemble an old Ace Sea Master float plane when it is built. The most glaring omission is the nacelle that houses the engine. I would also love to get my hands on a set of instructions because I do not know just how the pieces all fit together, especially the details inside the engine nacelle.
