[Petertenthije]

That was fast, it's for you now.

[AJ]

Distinctive nose that one!

I won't be long.

[AJ]

Here's another:

[ErwinS]

Cessna 150 float?

[AJ]

Close, but no.

[brianw999]

Cessna 182 Sealane ?

[AJ]

If you weren't being so specific you would have it!

[brianw999]

OK....Cessna 182 Skylane.....on floats !!

[AJ]

Still being too specific, add 3 and drop the Skylane

[brianw999]

Cessna 185.

(on floats, possibly with an F suffix ?)

[AJ]

Correct!

[Gabriel]

AJ, keep us posted on the Airbus news!!!

[Petertenthije]

Since the plane has been guessed, and it's gone quiet here... please allow me to but in with this one. I'll be honest, I have no clue what it is and am hoping someone here knows.

All I can tell you is that it's part of the former Khodynka Aviation Museum in Moscow. There are no visible markings on the plane, but I did not get a chance for a detailed look as we could only look at it from outside the fence.

Well, I've been searching for a month or so. I've searched Russian aircraft, Soviet Bloc, PZL licence builts, Chinese knock offs.....

.....and I have'nt got a clue !

The closest I got visually was a Yak 10/12. The wing supports are the same, the windscreen is similar but the fin is more rounded and it's a radial engine, not inline.
