Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[ericr]

asymmetric floats for the asymmetric BV141









floats are from a 1/48 Rufe

[Tophe]

Great! I think this is the first asymmetric floatplane ever!
Blohm und Voss designed an asymmetric seaplane but this was a flying boat with hull.

[TomZ]

Great concept!

That's an absolute BELTER Ericr!

One of your very best, and that's out of a lot of 'bests'.

There's only one possible improvement you could have made, do it the other way round with the cabin on the port side. 

It's been done very well in a landplane version, but as a seaplane of course.

[NARSES2]

That is absolutely brilliant, well done sir 

[ericr]

thanx thanx !

[Weaver]

Hahahahahaha - that's genius! 

Now we need the asymmetric ski version, probably produced after the war by Morane-Saulnier for the French Antarctic Expedition of 1948*...


*It'd be all-red, of course....

from ye olde Frog kit, lending itself nicely to floatplanization (with support from a, also old, SMER 1/72 MC72)

[McColm]

Looks so natural 

[PR19_Kit]

Ahah, so THAT'S where the floats went. 

That FROG Barracuda kit is surprisingly good for something that old.

[NARSES2]

Looks right 

[reddfoxx]

Yep, that works very well!
