hello
This is another seaplane... I seem to lose my ability to build non-floating planes... Well, this one is inspired by old 1930s Italian race planes, and I really love the shape of this. It has been pretty much at this stage for like a year or something like that, I thought I'd finally share it. I also built a closed cockpit version, and I am planning on building a ground version too. Maybe there is hope for me after all!

- its a plane, no more clues, that's it.

The Schneider Trophy is yours!
really cool
@jamesPLANESii, thank you so much!
@CrazyCatZe the rules in the challenge do allow for two posts
I love your building style so much!
@WinsWings, glad you enjoy it!
@Karsond, I already have a plane entered in that challenge, but thank you
@EternalDarkness,Thanks mate. I'm not sure if my reference was that exact engine, but it was certainly very similar. The Schneider Trophy planes are a great inspiration, especially the Italian ones.
You got to put this into BOSSentinel's Seaplane Challenge! You wound more than likely do great
I love these old-school racers. Reminds me of something that could be built for the Schneider Trophy.
Are the blisters on the nose supposed to suggest an X24 engine?
cool
LOve this! very nice
