following from my other thread https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=37003.msg899768#msg899768

but this is a seaplane, so belongs here

[PR19_Kit]

Oh yes, some SERIOUS horsepower on those wings! 

A cracking 'melding' job there Ericr.

Is it an optical illusion or are the propellers a bit too big? As they look as though they would churn the water when taxiing or landing.

[Tophe]

According to me, the explanation of these big propellers is that they are both aerial and marine, for plane speed in the air and ship speed in water. The whif world in our minds is more funny than the sad one outside.

That makes sense

I really like this one

One of those shots does make them look a little big, but it is an optical illusion.

[PR19_Kit]

As the engines are from a B-50 kit, they're P&W R-4360s, so they ARE big!

[ericr]

to be used on a very calm sea ? 

[ericr]

let us proceed with mixups

[Tophe]

Good!
(to remember, I write down what is in the topic title now but will disappear at the next model: this is a mix of S-43 & Cant Z501)

[PR19_Kit]

An S-43? 

I didn't know there was a kit of one, who made it please?
