that is what I am currently doing on some project, but I was wondering ...

I remember that there is this Fujimi Pete floatplane, as can be seen here : one side float and the main central one are proposed in waterline version :

http://www.model-making.eu/products/item_name-382873.html

see the pieces here



and the instructions at steps 6 and 7 (B type)




do you know any others ?

so I cut up a 1/48 Walrus from SMER, and tried to fit the hull to a Me 262, same scale (very good fit, sizewise), from Pegasus : here is the work in progress (with wings turned upsaide down to prevent water to come in the engines, of course)  :





I guess that is what is called kitbash ...  ;)

Thanks for showing unfinished models also (I was feeling guilty showing so slow progress on my models while yours are already finished like immediately without any pain...). Thanks again! ;)

Ahem, what is "simple" for a high-skilled modeller like you is "very uneasy" for a "bad-skilled" modeller like me... :( ;)

my skills have not progressed since I was a teenager (long ago  ;) ) but what progressed is
the adequacy between my skills and the way I realize my projects  ;D
