Not a company I was aware of until the November issue of SAM arrived. Said magazine includes a build of their Cant Z.511 (a big Italian seaplane) which is a combination of 3D printing and vacform clear parts. Looks very nice.

Anyway if you like large seaplanes then click on the link and indulge  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Arghhh - he does a Laté 631 in 1/144th scale!  :wub:

And he's going to do one in 1/72nd scale!!! :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

An La 631 in 1/72?  :o

There IS a God!  :thumbsup:

It may cost a bomb, but it looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good!  :wub:
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! :)

Nearly 3 ft wingspan and a tad shorter in length.

But SO elegant!  :wub:

Love the retractable floats that vanish into the outer engine nacelles.   :thumbsup:

Just about the only system I like as much as Dornier-style sponsons.
