thanks all !

Works so well.  I'd like to copy cat and build one. :)

please go ahead  :) I guess the float must be from a Rufe, and everything fits quite nicely,
so you can try your own interpretation, I would be happy to see it !

You should throw that back to grow a bit more, it's not quite the full float yet ;D ;D

The float Goblin is very lovely, thanks for the enjoyment! (I am not a pilot of it, maybe pilots would be frightened about its stability but I love it anyway) ;)

Looks very nice.  Quite plausible, too, given Macchi's involvement with flying boats prior to WW II.
