With fair winds and calm seas ye may see a cobbled together Booze Moose from some smashed up bits o' Do18, Stranraer and other stuff.

I be recievin' a messenger pigeon from Testors in the Colonies and they don' have me part so, after I is digestin' said Pigeon, I be takin' Nils's suggestion o' one centre float wi' a couple a wing stabilzer floats.
Progress so far me hearties, me gast will be flabbered if I gets it finished by the morrow.
It be green says I!




Lower wing be on now and mods to the float be started. Only 1/48th guns available are .50 cals off an Academy KV-107 so I be nickin' 'em though they be basic.
