Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[ericr]

the Yak-53 has a sympathic look, it deserved a floatplane version

(in 1/48, floats from a 1/72 Twin Otter)

Oh hell!! You built an Amodel!! How'd it go?!       I'm build that same one right now.      Getting close to painting it.


Looks great!   

[Tophe]

Good looking result!

[ericr]

thanks !

yes it is the Amodel (which I got cheap, on sales) :
theirs kits are always a bit grunge, but it is possible
to get along with them, to my standards 
And they have a very original range, so globally I quite like them.

[TheChronicOne]

Thanks, grunge indeed!  Yes, I think Amodel is quite alright in my book because of just how many cool things they have kits of. Like this one for instance. lol

That looks very neat 

It's got a Japanese WWII look about it, would need a different engine but could pass.

It looks very Ki-115 Tsurugi like.

Very much so Jon

I liked that one, maybe because of the name? and finally got it :

I like that.

I can see it in German naval lozenge or perhaps in Polish markings 

[ericr]

that would be whiffing ! (as it is actually british from the 30s  )

I was thinking of this classic for a while : a Fieseler Storch,
floatplanized (actually it seems it did exist in Real World, somewhere in ex-Yougoslavia)

In scale 1 I am not sure, but it flew as RC seaplane:

That's cool!  I do like the Storch, one reason being is all that glass and the way it is arranged. Had to have been a fun one to fly.
