Here is where I am at the Walrus build. New mono-wing design. Engine will be a tractor design like the Sea Otter.

Here is a Matchbox Lysander and floats from a Matchbox Seafox. Both a rescue kits so parts are missing. Will need to fabricate new ones.

Close match for weight Carl, but some Blackburn Shark floats would be better

Here is the SC-1 Seahawk. A nice low part count built. It will be built mostly stock. I may change a few bits.
