thanks !

I have to check a lot of pictures but it seems that the IJN planes didn't work the way the german ones did : the recess is ahead of the plane which suggests either 180° rotation or movement forward then lateral to fit in the recess from a deployed position.

the more complex the movement the less strudy the planes attachment...

Default bow planes stowed



model kit ALV club 1/350

bow planes stowage :



I don't know where they got their intel from but from RL pictures one can see that the bow planes were stowed away when not in use.

now to figure out how they moved...

Since they rotate in and out you'll have to make a change to the nodes. You'll have to change the PositionKeyFrames to a RotationKeyFrames. Everything else should be the same then.

That's going to require a little bit of trial and error. You're going to want to rotate it on the y axis I know that for sure. A good reference would be the Type 18 U Boat since its bow planes rotate in and out as well.
