Damn, that looks good!!  I have to wonder, though, how much spray hits those propellers.

What a concept scale-o-rama combo.  :o  :smiley:      You have great eye for kit-bashing.     Like to borrow from it some build some time !

Beautiful!!  That fuselage has the wings high enough above the water that, even in the straight up position, the engine exhausts are clear of the water.

Not been on-line much lately and missed your run of four seaplanes.  Really like them all, again you have taste for good combinations.  :smiley:
Can picture X-32 in small diorama on water with rope ladder from cockpit to pontoon.  Pilot is sitting on pontoon fishing.  Missile bay has fishing gear, eats, compartment for caught fish.
