Another new kit in at the Big H. Big airplane, big price. Must admit I'd not heard of it before

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Is that link correct? - it's linking to the Lockheed R6V-1 Constitution - Definitely a big airplane, but not a seaplane?
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

Apologies I copied "seaplane" from my previous post plus it is USN. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it  :angel:

Corrected now, thanks Kevin

Have you felt the weight of resin in an Anigrand kit ? It would never float  ;D

Actually its weight would not be the problem its weather it is water tight or not. During WWII with the invasion of Normandy and the need for a harbour that was transportable, the resulting design used sections that were made out of concrete which floated and the practice is still used today. Its simply (he says  :rolleyes:) a matter of keeping the water out of the container as its weight displaces water rather than having an ability to float. [/JMN]
