During 1907 on the Ohio River the Wright's experimented with hydrofoils with
the intent of adding them to floats on a Flier. A photo of their powered test 'raft'.


The Model K was their first tractor design, but it has little similarity to the Flier.

....and?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Looks good in the bag and on the instruction sheet.  Rivet count is low.  Could do with wing fences, a longer more pointy nose, natural metal and red stars.
But thats just a quick first impression.

Joined the stash today:
A 1/2 price Revell Concorde in 1/72, it's a re-pop of  Airfix's I believe
So I'm expecting some "fit" problems with the fuselage.
Bombcorde? Transport command?
Who knows

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

From Kingkit via ebay:

CMK Seafire FR47 (1996 Tool)

They'd got it wrong, with Spitfire F22 wheel bulges and canopy, so it makes a better late mark Spitfire than a late Seafire.  I have about four of these now...
