after using its floats for the Lysander, I still wanted to do this He115, so here it is with waterline floats
(of an alternative shape which was briefly experimented, therefore the plane was painted red during the test taxiings)

Recently I was suggested that a Mosquito would look nice on floats, which I had not yet thought of ;

So I found one, the nice old Frog glass-nosed kit, and fit Twin Otter floats :

this is a Whif in the box, from Hasegawa : I just revised the livery  ;D
the floats are a buit small, but in the anime where this comes from, they seem to suffice  ;)

If you think of them as skis instead of floats, I think this one works remarkably well.

Great stuff, eric! Keep 'em coming!

also out-of-the-box, but slightly re-coloured : the I-400 seaplane carrier submarine, in egg-style fashion :

this anime movie seaplane is really lovely (even if I haven't seen the movie at all),
and the kit is very nice, and molded in yellow plastic, whuch I liked so much that I chose to leave it as such,
with just two little touches of blue and red, respectively

Geez ericr... I think we must be best buddies! I was just looking for this kit.  I saw it on the shelf a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to have disappeared.

I actually just started watching the TV show Future Boy Conan and I quite like it.  You can definitely see Hayao Miyazaki's touch. 
Thanks!

Ericr, which kit is this exactly? I thought it was the Aoshima one... but that one is grey styrene (and more detailed) I believe.  I'm curious which one this is...what scale?
Thanks!

it is an Aoshima kit, in 1/72

this one (although the small pictures show grey plastic ... maybe there are different versions of the kit?)
