thanks !
the models are quite easy in fact, and not as small as 1/700  ;)

cheating a bit on the title, but not quite : the SB-17 does feature a boat, and is flying :
I feel it could have been a what-if  ;)







and there are other airborne rescue boats around : a nice source a true-er what-iffs, maybe ...

the colours are also what-if, not very military ;)

the hull and floats come from a Martin Marlin ...







and I tried to position the side floats in a soviet-stylish way  ;)

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Great work,  I know where I went wrong trying a similar idea using a 1/72
B-1B bomber and PS-2 flying boat.
