I know you went with the racer but I could really see a torpedo nestled between those floats

Or even an aerial depth charge! ;)

I almost went for overall Glossy Sea Blue and Royal New Zealand Air Force Pacific roundels. The chance to use my Green Civil registration decals trumped the military version. Adios, Larry.

Can you build a 2nd Tsunami in the above finish?
Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Memo to the Big Gimper!

No 2nd Tsunami. Too many other projects in the pipeline.

Thanks, everybody for the nice words.

Adios, Larry.

While I agree with Robomog on the fleet fighter, I really love the race finish.  Maybe a prototype R.N. Fast mail plane, mail in the ammo/gun bays, fuel in floats, mail
in under wing paniers?

Any who, great whiffing Sir, great whiffing indeed.
If I don't plan it, it can't go wrong!

If it's great, I did it. If it's naff, I found it.
