Thanks ya very much chaps 😀

Abit more work today was done ...a little PSR was done around the turret with more to follow.
Also built the rest of the supports for the floats and drilled the holes for the bracing wires .
As for the building process there's really bugger all left to do .
The paint scheme is the next thing to think about and I've got an idea about that 🤔 😏

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

A plane I always liked. The floatplane version looks natural. I hope the struts you add will be hefty. Side forces in take off and landing will be strong. I am thinking that a third fin, style Constellation, would be pretty, and it's usual to add some in floatplane versions of landplanes.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Lou I was thinking about ..adding a extra fin ..im now thinking one might not be needed as the floats have their own rudders which are controlled buy the rudder on the tails .
When taking off the tail and rudders will work together to keep the plane straight just like on the real things.
Also makes manoeuvring on the water a absolute doddel  ;D

Might have noticed I've done smeg all with this at the mo...not only have I been sorting my own car out  but everyone else's aswell.
Today I've got a water pump to do on a 08 Jeep Wangler and over the weekend the injector seals and rocker cover gasket on a Hyundai santafe diesel...and then ..nothing I hope 🙏 😌

- 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.

Thanks lads  ;D  ;D  ;D

Annoyingly I want to do more painting on this but I want to gloss it first to protect it...alot of handling and it's quite large...something will get boinked .

Guy the 1:1 scale photo cat is my boy Buster ..an absolute monster of a puddy..he's a smeg over a metre long from nose to tail 😳
And as delicate as a hydrogen bomb  ;D
