Great! This looks special. You could try putting some floats on a B-17... Just an idea....
Now we get serious . . . the original tires did not fully retract, so the kit tires were trimmed and glued on the bottom of the floats . . .
Front view line up
Auxiliary struts to follow . . .
Can't decide about the tail wheel, it adds a bit of uncertainty for the future
Sits up nice too, will have to look at the Ju-52 next . . . meanwhile to the paint shop, elves!
Amazing job Dave! You should put the tail wheel on the front pf the float should't you??
Thanks
Nick
This one is great, Dave.
The DC-3/C-47 is such a beauty that all the possibilities to add one more is welcome.
Should have known that when someone posted a C-47 seaplane you would make one. Great job.
Looking really good thus far Dave.
I wonder how many more of these conversions to floats are still waiting in the wings?
