[ericr]

I had this "Espadon" for a few years, wondering what to do with it, and suddendly, upon finding a cheap S-328, I saw it :

Now that my friend, is possibly your best primary seaplane yet.

Bravo.

That's amazingly awesome, but are the wings on backwards?

They seem to have square leading edges and taper toward the rear......

[Captain Canada]

That is so cool ! For sure one of your best yet. Great stuff. Something fishy about it tho.....

[NARSES2]

That's incredible, almost got an art-nouveau look about it. Apart from the floats that is  Then you look at it again and it's a bird 

[ericr]

thanks all !

the original "kit" of the Espadon/Swordfish was a readymade figurine, so I just had to add the floats and paint in my own blue.

I found this surprising too, all the more because original documentation (see below) does not show that detail, but the kit/figurine is mounted like that : maybe they know more 

[Tophe]

Yes, congratulations! This model is very weird, so good...

[NARSES2]

Fantastic cover illustration 

[ericr]

the comics is worth reading IIRC

I almost overlooked this crossing, even though I have crossed quite a few Buccaneers and Twin Otters as you might remember from this thread or another ; but finally it occurred to me, and here it is :

the Revell (ex-Matchbox) Buccaneer with floats from a Revell (ex-Matchbox) Twin Otter :

That's killer, bro!!!   

[kerick]

Looks like a "could have been"!

[Tophe]

The floats position and size seems perfect: no water splash into the air intakes while the center of gravity is perfectly supported. Good, engineer!

[ericr]

thanxalot ! 

[Captain Canada]

Does the Bucc ever look good in that Blue ! Nice work !
