Nice!!! Kinda surprised the floats weren't more plastic bananas.

Nice!!! Kinda surprised the floats weren't more plastic bananas. 

That'll be next week's effort. 

[ericr]

Alas, there currently are no more bananas in my stash

after using its floats for the Lysander, I still wanted to do this He115, so here it is with waterline floats
(of an alternative shape which was briefly experimented, therefore the plane was painted red during the test taxiings)

You tend to forget just how big the He-115 was, and in red it seems to show its size even more.

Neat idea over the floats, not something you see very often with aircraft models.

Nice!

[ericr]

thanks !

I know of one kit with waterline floats : a Fujimi 1/72 Pete : being a single float, only one of its side floats is in the water, by the way

[TheChronicOne]

Wow that is nice!!!  Choice work on all the window framing and glazings and what not.

thanks

Recently I was suggested that a Mosquito would look nice on floats, which I had not yet thought of;

So I found one, the nice old Frog glass-nosed kit, and fit Twin Otter floats :

Wow, that works better than I thought it would.  Very nice!

[McColm]

Looks great

[Tophe]

Good looking!
