Indeed ... excellent visibility for landing a float-fighter. Lovely build!  :smiley:

I think I heard someone say something about a P-47 with a float like a Duck ...

That's a great combination and truly inspired using the Duck's floats!

The primary color choice is yet another winner too.

Now, in one aircraft, two great Long Island aircraft companies work together!!  That's beautiful in concept and execution and looks far better than the amphibian version of the P-47's progenitor, the SEV-1 (and way less draggy).

the Do-24 wings and tail went elsewhere, but the hull has its potential :

That's simply wonderful eric and one of your smoothest, crispest builds yet!

A perfect primary color choice, too.
