1/72 Ferrer Ocell de Fragata

This may be madness, but I'm going to try and complete two aircraft in a week. In this case it's Arii's Mitsubishi Ki-15-II "Babs" which, if Scalemates is to be believed, first appeared in the 70's! You wouldn't think so looking at all the finely scribed lines, though a few hints of flash here and there are apparent. Anyway, having started the Seiran, I had a pair of honking great floats begging to used and looking lonely in the box. Step forward the ubiquitous Babs to gain a new pair of boots. Whilst they may be hilariously oversized, I'm hoping with a little repositioning they will look like they belong. Wish me luck.

Any way, one box pic.

If the floats are too big, you could use only ONE as a central float with outriggers and save the other for another build.

That kit builds up OK.  You'll do all right with it.

I wouldn't worry about the floats. Many times they end up being too small on whiffs so bigger is better. This looks pretty interesting, carry on!

I recall the floats the late Robert used on his Lancaster floatplane, they were about the size of a Wellington's fuselage!
