A-10 seaplane fighter

Holy crap, dude.  This is so ambitious... I can't wait to see the end result. 

Nor can I 

That rear 3/4 view reminds me of something ? I'm sure it's of one of the few jet sea planes built but with an added something ? Whatever it's a tremendous build.

Maybe of a Be-42?

At this angle i'm getting a touch of SLUF around the nose.

Yes, very much so.

DROOOOL over the Albatross, i wish i could afford the Anigrand one, it's a magnificent looking aeroplane.

There's also ordinary Joe's alternative: a 1:144 kit from Zvezda?



Might be a good basis for a scale-o-rama project, e .g. a single seat jet flying boat fighter? Hmmm... 

[PR19_Kit]

I've got a Be-200 kit, but I think it's an A Model. I'm a long way from it at the moment.

The Be-200 looks fine, but there's something about the Albatross that's REALLY good.

[NARSES2]

Yup I think it is a Be-42 that it reminds me of Dizzy.

I can also see the Sluff likeness as well.

A SLUF conversion would be very doable. Hmmmmm........

With the high wings and boxy fuselage, the implantation of a boat hull be relatively easy. Just close air intake and exhaust, a T-tail and engine pods à la Be-42....

[Charlie_c67]

Or an in take on top a la the F-107...

There wings attached now!! Pics will follow if I can get my phone and computer to talk to each other. I cut a hole for the nose gear too. Most of the PSR is done. I have no idea what to do about a paint scheme or even time period. Could end up anything from post WW2 to the present. Any suggestions?

A couple of pics.





The tail doesn't look so overly large now. Flaps were removed from the wings many years ago but will be used as intended.

I have no suggestion about a realist decoration but I enjoy the shape, thanks!

It would look pretty good with colour demarkations similar to the construction.
Sea Blue hull with white underside and NMF wings, fin, and tail.

[PR19_Kit]

It's looking AWESOME already!

Nice!
