More solid than aerodynamic, this looks efficient, reliable.

Makes me wonder about a Lysander on floats?

There is no way you are going to convince me that isn't a "Real World" aeroplane   

Absolutely brilliant

As do I Jon

like this ? (approx. 5 years ago, but the search engine does not find it)

That sure changes the look !

The aerodynamic spats at the junction floats/pylons, there without wheels but for some other reason, are both funny and mysterious. It is half the proof this is a whif, not serious, half a possible mystery, the mind hesitates to decide;

The wheels are still there. This way if the lake dries up the Lysander can drive off the floats and onto the beach and fly away. Sounds good to me anyway!

Neat, I vaguely remember that floaty Lysander. I'd probably give it a different landing gear - maybe something modular like the Noorduyn Norseman had? Could be a nice bush aircraft?

 

Skua, red : primary seaplanes

with floats from a SOC Seamew

So perfect it should be Real World

 

Somewhere in Norway 1940 

Terrific build Eric and deserves to be built in FAA markings 

 

They put floats on the Roc, so why not a Skua?

The Roc was designed with float operation in mind, the floats were Shark type.
