Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[jcf]

The Hadrian Sea-Glider is wonderful
Is the tow plane pulling it also a floatplane?

High-speed launch!

My thoughts exactly.

Or something completely daft like Gar Wood's four V-12 Packard 1M-2500 powered Miss America X.




View from the con of the restored boat.

That must sound glorious...

...from a safe distance.  From the con?  Stone deaf in 30 seconds.

Lovely.

Love the Sea Hadrian and it's not to daft as there were a couple of proposals for float plane gliders and I think the Japanese may have put one into limited production ?

[ericr]

I read that there even were plans for a Go242 flying boat version
and about a conversion kit by RS models, but never saw it, alas ...
so I had a try by myself some years ago

I saw this Go-242 flying boat in a book or magazine but I cannot go anymore to my paper databases and shelves of books and magazines, and scanner, sorry, I cannot walk anymore, sorry  (the oncologist will say if this is definitive).

I know this image for example :


and my attempt was yellow :





and looking in my old files I realize it was inspired by a picture of yours :



you have been influencing me for quite a few years now (2006?),
thank you so much for that !

and best wishes for your health

[Tophe]

Wow! Great model!
And thanks to you for the thanks & wishes

[NARSES2]

Great model Eric.

All the very best to you Tophe, I hope things improve for you

I missed this in your posts Tophe, and I'm so VERY sorry to hear it.

You're one of the most innovative posters on here, and I hope the medics can sort things out for you.

Tophe,

All the best to you, my friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Keep fighting, my friend.

Thanks a lot to all, while we should go back to the main subject here: celebrating ericr's seaplane models. Maybe tomorrow I may try to draw a twin-hull version of his Go-242 seaplane...
