One wonder I had after looking at the picture, the concept. Is how large could you get which the aircraft before it looked to unreal?

Looks like the Malaysian Military has got some pretty modern stuff.

Like this Hover tank.

Someone stole DeHavilland's idea of turning a Tigermoth into a Foxmoth
      If civil aviation had taken off quicker after WW2 that is what I'd expect to see around holiday resorts etc for joyrides as well as light-freight.  Post by air-mail London to Edinburgh instead of by train.

Had not hear of the Foxmoth. Might be a different world if Post WW2 ".. civil aviation had taken off..."

Thanks a lot Stéphane. I have found many wonders by this Kakuki in 2003 on the Web (as I illustrated pages 24-25 in my book "The end of Forked Ghosts", free at http://cmeunier.chez-alice.fr/Free_EoFG_MV.htm ) but, obviously, he has continued to create... Thanks for the update!

EDIT: Do you understand for the catamaran seaplane at http://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warbirds.jp%2Fkakuki%2F (then "Rooms altered reality machines" then "Other" then "Yakumo") what is the design date? 1943 or/and 2010?

There is also this amazing whif seaplane competition on his site:
