Looking REALLY good now Dave.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Do you plan to have some sort of (retractable) wing floats like the Kawanishi E15K?

IIRC the wing floats on the E15K were retractable and inflatable...

...and didn't work properly.
I also think they could be jettisoned in an emergency for a faster getaway.

I can't imagine how Grumman didn't do that for real, it looks just SO plausible!  :thumbsup:

Paint it Japanese and you'd really confuse the JMNs.

Good job Dave.
