Somehow it looks immediately 'German'. Very odd, but I like the idea anyway.

It's the spatted u/c that does it.  Not identical but lends it an Fi167 air.

The spats work well.  :thumbsup: A friend of mine placed a Seafox sans floats on skis - this also looked good, but any land-based derivative suffers from the really large fin, it kills IMHO the overall proportions.

Very good.
You should rig it Eric - with yellow thread.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It is on the LARGE side, isn't it? But I guess they needed it with those hefty floats undernerneath.

Did the Swordfish have a larger fin when it was float-borne?

Very Arado looking to me, also very interesting looking Eric  :thumbsup:

Thanks for these words, inspiring me such Mustangs as well (or as bad): ;)

Several Seafoxes did fly with a proper fixed undercarriage, somewhat similar to that of a Swordfish.

Nice find, I've never seen a Seafox with a landing gear before.  :thumbsup:

Surprisingly the M'box kit only came with floats.

Back in the day the FROG Blackburn Shark came with EVERYthing!

Very cool.  :thumbsup:

My first impression was Italian rather than German.  ;D
