The floatplane is an interesting idea, however it would need larger, longer floats.
In 1/72, perhaps the floats from a E16A1
Zuiun
? The take-off weights are similar - 10,000 lb for the
Zuiun
, 11,445 lb for the
Whirlwind
. (1/48 would be tricker ... is there a kit in this scale other than that of Raccoon Models?)
Or maybe use two
Rufe
main floats?

Well I'm making these for a Blenheim (actually a Bolingbroke). It's max T.O.W. is 14,400 lbs so just a tad big, but they could be reduced in size even more than what I am doing to them
