thanks all !

sometimes simple is beautiful 

Got an idea for the D.H. Mosquito to add floats to it.

a Moquito on floats? how come I never until now thought of it  

I saw a photo of a D.H.90 Dragonfly, a smaller version of the Dragon Rapide on floats and thought of the Mossie.

great idea ! I just found and bought a 1/72 Mosquito  (an old Frog one, with a glass nose : I like glass noses)

and now for something a bit different :

a 1/48 Rufe with twin floats (borrowed from a MC72)

[McColm]

That looks so natural.
I might try an F-4 Phantom with water skis.

Maybe this is the license built Rufe made in America 1944, on another (peaceful) planet, that I adore...

single float MC 72, blue :

Now that's REALLY good! They should have tried that for real. 

[NARSES2]

Second that.
IRL the MC72 had flush mounted radiators on the floats.  This might not get too far before it overheats but it will look damn good doing so.
Good job Eric.

Wonderful! This one would have won the race for sure! And the blue color is correct: the Italian football team wears this color I think.
