Thanks for all the help!  I took a look at the ASR Lancs, but if and when I do one I'll probably use one of the all yellow Whirlwind schemes.
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

Of course in some universes - the Royal Navy (and RAF) continue to use amphibious flying boats - which gives you this

and here I am with an Amodel 1/144 Grumman Albatross in my stash as well, methinks the story will continue!  ;D

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! :)

Ericr's probably already done one, with Do-X wings of course.  ;)

Well the Albatross would be in service in the early 1950's to replace Sea Otters / Walruses, so I 'see' Coastal Command camo over white under surfaces, but a Hi-Vis yellow or yellow with red certainly appeals (or camo with Hi-Vis panels of either yellow or red?)
