I am so loving this. My Uncle flew PBYs in WW2. My dad and I watched the Borate bombers work the fires in central Washington over the years. Nothing like wathcing one of these beasts touch down on the water to siphon up a load to drop on the fire. In fact, Dad was looking at some pictures and the plans for my 109 over christmas this year and he was asking if I was ever going to do a PBY. Not now,, you took that right away, and more power to ya,, looks great, I think one time they did have a built pond for the regionals, now that could be fun, a stunt pattern over the water, in fact, that may be a way to make my planes last longer,, lol,
OK probably not
great looking project, keep us posted.
