All credit to the team who brought us the Spitfire floatplane. Now if we could only have a Spitfire XII...

The Spitfire XII is much needed for sure! BTW, you can improve your "S-6B" fuselage skin a bit by painting the silver details. Super!!!

Yes, I did consider it but it's a step too far for someone with limited time... and limited ability! I like to work quick and just can't get bogged down.

Just a little update with a silver upper fuselage.

Really beauty, for 1939 it should have the flat canopy.

Impressive! 

 

Thought - replacing the floats with retractable wheels, putting some guns in the wings, could perhaps turn it into a useful fighter?
