Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

Yes.  I don't read the words, I just look at the pictures.   

I understand that pictures are the most important, but... we try to speak in English which is not our mother language and it is not read? too bad...
(I hope it is a joke)

With me Tophe, always a joke...

Looking Japanese!

I've tried but failed to kitbash the Shorts Sunderland with a Lockheed Constellation and now there's talk of kitbashing an Avro Shackleton with the Sunderland. I'm sure that you have done something similar before.

I did do a Sunderlandization of a Shackleton some time ago : I re-used the lower part of the hull, and managed to fit it to the Shackleton fuselage (but don't look too close  )

No matter details for me, but I love it/her as twin-fin Sunderland, thanks!

Thanks, two more kits to buy next year.

the fuselage from the Sunderland received wings from a U-2 (1/48), and engines from a XB_35

Now THAT'S kitbashing! 

Somehow the XB-35's wings on a 1/48 U-2 fuselage and tail just doesn't work in my head, but........................

Parasol configuration? 

[McColm]

Great work,  the thickness of the XB-35 wings is almost the same as the
B-36. I know because I have tried to attach them to a  XB-35 fuselage. I know where I went wrong but I won't make that mistake on the second time.

[ericr]

thanks !

well, you were guessing a bit too easily my tricks, so I had to change my strategies 
I moved from switches between two kits to longer chains : wait & see 

the XB-35 was already fit with two A380 engines ealier in this thread ...

the U2 from which the wings are on the Sunderland is there
