That's nice. The spray must be breathtaking, though, and I guess that watering will be a wobbly affair...? I (seriously) miss some stabilizer floats - otherwise I like the idea very much.

I'd put the stabiliser floats on the back of the nacelles.  After all, it's only ever going to sit in the water with the engines in "chopper" mode.
Other than that though, it looks great.

I have been having thoughts about a Mil 24 modified along similar lines.

There was a real life project of a VSTOL Grumman Goose (Kaman K-16) with an elaborated floats mechanism I like a lot.

The Goose has in fact a very techno-look. :thumbsup:

Ahem... beg your pardon, it's not a Widgeon, it's the Goose, the bigger brother, with radial engines. Airfix kit would be good only for a whif. Or maybe a Grumman Albatross could be used, for a bigger development.
Sword does a 1/72 Goose.

maybe a 1/48 Goose would match well with a 1/72 Osprey

Rareplanes did a superb vacform Goose, not sure if Hannants still do it though. I have one and it's magnificent.
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! :)

Got one of those Sword Goose kits, nice model. My plan is to get hold of a Mallard because I've got a Widgeon and Albatross.
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

I have a decal sheet stashed away for my Goose from  the 'Tales of the Gold Monkey'. Goodness knows where it came from.......

Wow, they have some interesting stuff there - I finally got the 'Always' A-26 markings I wanted from them, now I have to 'get rear in gear' and do the thing!
