It's an Hobbyboss Tempest fuselage with Hobbyboss Typhoon wings and floats from the spares box.

Cheers,

I hope one float is larger than the other.

All that torque from the Sabre............... :(
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! :)

- 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.

Looking very good, you can't beat a floatplane  :thumbsup:  ...did a whole load for a Schneider Trophy series a while back including a Tempest with Centaurus engine & a Sea Fury but kept the wings. Typhoon wings look great on your quality floats, I used cheap PM kit ones which were ok but did the job  ;D .  :tornado:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
