 Not terribly new-finished about six months ago...This depicts an ex-RAF aircraft adapted to a float configuration by the
 mysterious Carribbean vigilante, Dr. Lusca...


 

 


 Its the venerable Frog kit, with floats from an equally old LS Shiun. The Canopy was improvised ( when I lost the original )
 from a spare Me 163 and a bit of droptank.

I really like the new canopy, Doc! It gives your Float Wyvern a very fast look!

Has an almost Japanese look about it, given their propensity for floaty things.

Doctor Lusca has great taste in aircraft :^)

Interesting paint scheme too.
