Introduction
In the later stages of WW2 the possibility of seaplane fighters was being explored, they had large advantages over carrier bourne aircraft by not being reliant on a large ship or runway to operate but had some significant disadvantages as well.
Here we have the RJ Flying Boat 1, powered by an early jet engine (I really should have turned the power down more but its too much fun to fly as it is).
Armed with 4 20mm cannon, it has a crew of 2 (pilot and navigator)
