Beautiful and performing... :-*

You should consider entering this beauty in the the Retro-Futuristic GB. Call it a 1920 Schneider Cup concept racer.

That would be more like 1930.  ;)
Yes, this was futuristic at that time, please ericr join me in this GB where I feel all alone (with August holydays of the Northern hemisphere?)... ;)

I was tempted into this after seeing on the web a profile of a twin float Lysander :





the Lysander is 1/48, and the floats from a 1/72 He115
(I first tried floats from a 1/72 Twin Otter but they looked too thin after all)

Nice! I've always had a soft spot for Lysander, and the floats suit her well.

Wait a little: these float-spats needs judgement of our spat expert BdB: genius or else heresy? ;)

Love the twin-float Lysander but your single float MC 72 is very sweet  :smiley:

It is spat heresy I say!

Seriously though that Lysander ended up one lovely bird!

I like how you're able to put your own unique twist on such classics, eric!

So I had these two kits of tha Tornado, jet powered boat, made from Ju-52 floats : I made the 1/72 kit in blue, and for the 1/35 one, I transformed it into a dinghy-based contraption. And thus I could keep the huge floats for ... this  (with a Heller 1/72 Connie, and thinking of the beautiful italian Cant Z.511):

Brilliant work, just luv the connie.  Shame about the photobucket situation, spoils the collection.

More more more.

Once again, a magnificent "wish I'd thought of it" model!

It's interesting how natural those floats look on a Connie too.

Love the yellow, eric! You always seem to pick the best of the primary colors to fit the subject.
