I really like the HU-16 and have several of the old Monogram kits in different colored plastic, e.g. silver, white, and orange. I am looking for one of the 1/48th scale kits. I wish someone would do the other Grumman amphibs in this line, that is the Goose and the Gander. The Gander is a scaled down version of the Albatross (HU-16) - more or less. "So that others may live". I'll watch this build. Thanks.
