Have loved all your float fighters, but the G.50 Idro is the best so far.  Keep it up.

Fiat G-50...this one is my favorite...
... and I can see why... looks so real...  :)

Almost unbelievable that such variant of G-50 didn't appeared during WWII...

Gotta agree with Chuck there ... and to cross the G.50 Idro off my own to-do list  ;D

Beautifully executed; but (IMHO), I'm not sure of the aesthetic wisdom of replacing gorgeous, intimidating spats with floats!  ;)

Yes, this is indeed distressing to some of us. ;)

The wisdom of replacing spats aside, that's some wonderful work AXOR!

This Breda Ba-27 Idro kinda has 'float-spats' ... and I'm keen on Ba-27s of any stripe  :)

Lovely floaty Yak-18 too!

Given how small the Hw-162 was, that is one very small torpedo...

That's corect Greg,in my drawing I represented a light torpedo,but I can change the design for a larger torpedo.
In this configuration could also carry four depth bombs,two on each side.

The shape of this tiny He-162W is lovely :-*
I would prefer Romanian roundels but the most important for me is the shape invention.
