Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

I did not know well the Loire 130, but Google explains at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loire_130
and this was a warbird, it seems, thanks to make it joyful with those colours!

Hey those are neat!!!   Interesting scale, too.

I was going to buy one of them Loire 130's in 1/72 for the boatplane GB ... until I saw the price. 

Oh and the boxy yellow contraption is cool!!!  That's home-grown ingenuity.

thanks !

at a bit less than 3,5 cm long, they could look like sweets indeed

same scale, but a tad larger :
the chinese SH-5

(I already made a yellow one some time back, so only blue and red this time) :

This seems logical for us, knowing you, but I doubt that the Chinese Navy would confirm this is "logical" a colour.

Nice. I really like both aeroplanes, and they look great in those colours !

[ericr]

thanks

another small one : just repainted from a pre-built miniature :

[Captain Canada]

Looks good ! It came with the floats on it ?

[Tophe]

A blue floatplane (or blue float-helicopter) is perfectly camouflaged (upon the blue water), but this is surprising for a Search And Rescue craft, usually trying to be very visible, as savers for the poor victims...

[ericr]

thanks !

the floats were added by me, using some aircraft pod from my spares box

[ericr]

I hadn't tried that one yet :

[Tophe]

It seems so well balanced, are you sure this is what if?

[PR19_Kit]

That P-47's awesome! 

Much though I like your monochrome colours, it'd look even better in the USN's three colour scheme.

thanks !

please feel free to re-interpret this as you wish 
(floats are from an An-2 by Trumpeter)
