Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[TheChronicOne]

Yeah, how bout that! Does look pretty neat! 

[zenrat]

Looks very good Eric.  I like that you've added a small vertical tail  extension underneath the fin.

[ericr]

thnks a lot all !

this kind of effort fits my skills well enough 
I first looked at the original fin, and noticed that it is not that large, and then chose for  the size of the additional one

[DogfighterZen]

Looks very good!

[ericr]

thanks again !

[ericr]

this is a Whif in the box, from Hasegawa : I just revised the livery 
the floats are a buit small, but in the anime where this comes from, they seem to suffice 

[PR19_Kit]

They really are small, are you sure they're not meant to be skis?

[ericr]

the Hasegawa kit says they're floats, retractable by the way :
the images I find from the anime movie show that it floats, in that particular whif world 
so sometimes, you have to believe the story told 

[TheChronicOne]

That's cool!  Nice finish on there, too. Shiny.

Interesting... while I cannot identify a known plane, is this a dream? or a poorly known basis, transformed into a what-if version?

[ericr]

thank you !

the plane looks a bit like  russian Il-2, but it seems to be a fictional aircraft

[Dizzyfugu]

It's all fictional, and the kit comes in two three boxings (there's a blue/white one, plus one with a bright red and yellow livery, and I found another one in a silver/red scheme - the latter two seem to be racers?).

Makes me wonder how it would look like on larger, fixed floats, and I can imagine that the basic hull would also look great with a single seat bubble canopy, a conventional fin and a standard landing gear?

[ericr]

the plane also looks quite a bit like a Loire Nieuport LN411

[zenrat]

It's a kit i've looked at online may time and rejected because of those undersized "floats".
However, having seen one built I can now see its potential and might have to get one.
