not so much a whiff, but for the floats attachment and shape (they're from a An-2), and livery :

That's got a fantastic Amelia Earhart 'Fokker Friendship' vibe about it. Red was the perfect primary color choice.

Great stuff, eric!

Now that is a gorgeous model.  I could see something like that operating where the color would help it be found in case of trouble, perhaps summer bush plane operations in Alaska or the Canadian far north.

Nice  :smiley:  With the Saab's twin tail booms, it's easy to imagine a development with semi-retractable floats  ;)

Gorgeous!!  I could see an improved version with struts down from the twin booms and eliminating the struts between the floats.
