Getting there Still have no idea how to make it water bound

Well, since there's only 4 'water runways' on 3 different maps*, and this looks like a -5A, I wouldn't worry about that too much! As long as it got gear, we got runways!

 

Odd ball question: will the floats be animated? (I'd suggest the bombbay or hook key for manual deployment).

 

looks pretty good so far, Ed!

Awesome! The cat is probably the most graceful ugly plane ever to fly. Can't wait to do some recon at a screaming 120 knots!

Thanks Wrench! It's a kit from Guillow's, a non flying static display. I'm building it to decorate my little boy's room.

1/28th scale 7/16"=1'

Length-28 1/2" (72.39cm)

Wingspan-45 1/2" (115.57cm)

 

He's got a Fokker DrI hanging in his room now and a Sopwith Camel to go with it (still in the box at present)
