Hi

What is your Idea??

Suggest you contact TST2 Joe as he casts them up but you may have to cross his palm with silver, doubloons, or maybe a kit or 2.

got the Hasagawa He-51B that comes with a pair.
I am doing the land based version so you can have the floats if they are big enough.

IF you want to try and make your own floats, you can use the download file from Internet Modeler http://www.internetmodeler.com/references/index.html that is located on the reference page link http://www.internetmodeler.com/references/index.html. The third link titled "Edo Model Wa 4665 Float Scale Drawings (1/72 & 1/48, 2 Pages, 63.9KB)" will allow you to download the Adobe file to your own computer. The drawings contained within are for floats that were used on the Beech Staggerwing, Curtiss Hawk and others. The drawings include side and top views as well as cross sections.

Or you could try contacting Aeroclub as they have this:

Roll Models is a good U.S. distributor for Aeroclub products. I get spats from them all the time.

I'm planning a 1/72 dehaviland Vampire on floats for an upcoming GB idea,complete with a multi shade Turquoise shallow water cammo

They might work phil how much would you want for them I don't have much in the way of trade items at the moment (esp as i'm in the middle of moving and most of my models are packed away lol)

Here is an attached Image of a Vampire floatplane from the Seattle model club 1949 Schneider Trophy race GB. Sorry about Quality its cropped from a bigger picture but I believe they were all on this site at some point.
