That sure looks like a V tailed Victor to me! The describes it as a "laker". Did they mean landing on the water too? Time to double check.

Yep, right there in the first sentence. Don't know why they felt they had to invent a new name for a flying boat/floatplane. Didn't someone do a whiff pic of a flying boat Victor?

That looks like a very doable build for a chap with a good sharp knife, some putty, and a Victor! 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Someone here Whiffed a Victor flying boat, but of course I can't remember who.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Pic also didn't show any sign of a step in the hull. Someone needs to review their knowledge of waterborne aircraft.
