Do I see a Karas hidden in there somewhere?
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! :)

With Nanzan floats? Or Spit ones?
But yes, very nicely done.

Yes, the PZL.42 was a derived prototype of the PZL.23 Karas, main difference is the H-tail and bottom gondola, but I am finding conflicting information if it was completely removed or retractable. Someone more familiar on the topic can chime in!

Good eye, the modeller indeed used the M6A floats. Today I learned that the land-based version was Nanzan and the floatplane version Seiran.

Thanks. Yes, I had forgotten the renaming thing between the versions.  :thumbsup:

It's a lovely build and the paintwork is  :bow: 

Be interesting to see it alongside an Ar 196.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
