I do like the idea mate and it looks as though it will work..........................well 

[Dizzyfugu]

That's a cool concept. Curious about the landing gear? Or will there be a lower boat hull integrated (which looks feasible!)? 

[Captain Canada]

Sponsons like modern birds and it will be tricycle

It looks big, have you room enough  or will you cut away the wing tips? (if dear PR19_Kit allows you to do so...)

If Todd cuts them down I'm sure I can find a home for the bits he trims off................

CH 53 would make a good undercarriage  donor

Oh YEAH! Loves me some flying boats!

It looks big

This Revell kit seems 1/72 and I read at http://kits.kitreview.com/ju290reviewbg_1.htm
"With a wingspan on 57.8 cm (almost 2 feet), Revell's Ju 290 would be impressive due to its size alone"

She would look good as a boat. But this one will be land based. I think I found the sponsons, fuselage halves from an OV-10 Bronco !

Thanks a lot! That gives me ideas to solve a smilar problem!

Digging through my spares box, I found the front fuselage parts for an old Airfix Bristol Freighter that I had bought ( or someone gave me ? That was many a moon ago ! And thanks ! ) the resin conversion for. They'd make perfect parts to strengthen the fuselage.

Here's the Bronco fuselages, cut down, with a drop tank inserted, that I cut down to make my wheel sponsons.
