- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

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

Just a thought about the name of the flying boat:
1. Based on the example with Torbeau, Beaufighter derivatives may receive names with a suffix Beau, rather than with the same prefix.
2. Flying boats and floatplanes are generally called "hydroplanes" or "seaplanes". Many naval or navalized airplanes have names with the prefix "sea": Seabird, Sea Hawk, Seafire, Sea Venom etc.
3. Seabeau (See-bo) might sound like placebo in the first moment ;D, but reminds me more of a sea-beauty or even sounds like C'est si bon. What in fact this nice whif is! :thumbsup:
