I honestly thought that none of the Burnelli designs had survived the years but it turns out I am mistaken. In Connecticut is the New England Air Museum who have in their large collection a Burnelli CBY-3.
It appears to have been undergoing restoration for several years now and it looks good :thumbsup:

I see they leave the props off until the end of the build. Just like we do.
Thanks for that Nick. Interesting.
Looking good :thumbsup:
Shes looking good.
I would love to see this make it into kit form.......................resin or plastic im not fussy :thumbsup:
Something tells me Kit's probably not a big fan of this design...

It's OK just for pure weirdness, but there's something missing...................
It does have wings. I assume they will be reattached at some point of the restoration.

The Savoia is kind of turning into a long wing Burnelli seaplane. ;D
