Wow, you're really cracking through these builds! The last picture is a bit dark to tell, what scheme are you doing it in?

Looking good  I wish that Airfix would release this as an individual kit rather than in the box set.
Cheers

Thanks
The scheme I'm doing it in is the US Army version as that was the one with the floats.
The scheme is supposed to be Humbrol 30, although the paint I used is a bit darker but I think it works well. I will get some better pics up after I've applied the decals
Brews, a word of warning the floats are a nightmare to put on as you have drill the locater holes (which I didn't realise until I had put the fuselage halves together)

Looking at the Humbrol Paint cart the paint I used (which I think is Games Workshop's Dark Angels Green (It was a older pot that had lost it's label)) is closer to 116 than 30 anyway |

| Nice looking build, coming together quickly too. So far the seaplanes are beating the flying boats hands down! |

Yeah it would be nice as a single kit, although my set was only £10 from TK Max
