BrabdonK and I are putting out a feeler for a Float Plane GB starting Jan 1 2016 and running for a year. The rules would be:
1. Crossovers welcome. 2. OOB or AM OK. 3. Jan 1 2016 to Dec 31 2016. 4. Any scale or era.5. BrandonK would be the host and I would be the co-host.
Brandon is also putting out feelers in the Aircraft forum.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
I have several floatplanes in my stash but they are military. Is this ok?
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
"I have several floatplanes in my stash but they are military. Is this ok?"Absolutly, I was going to build a Rufe.Brandon is going to post a feeler in Aircraft soon.
Cool! I have several Japanese and US floatplanes so count me in.
Would this include flying boats?

I'll echo Don here, Are flying boats eligible?

If it's a plane and can land on water, then it's in. Boats, floats, conversions, whatever.
I was considering the Loire 130M, but the kit doesn't include an engine, WHAT?! So, I'm leaning toward a PBY possibly, but I'm still looking for something special. Maybe an Arado 196 or He 115. Tons of possibilities.

I HIGHLY recommend the 1/32 ROG Arado. I built it a couple of years back and it is a real pleasure to work with. Even as an OOB build, it's still exceptional.

The original kit does seem to be a bit ytricky to get hold of at the minute. I would like to get one to go on the launcher from HPH. But there is the newer B kit.
Didn't realize it got discontinued as it seems. I bought mine for $34. I missed out on the ROG FW190D and 109K, both ex-Hasegawas.
i am not ready to commit BUT...
i have a number of float planes and sea planes (including the really old SEAMASTER jet) and there was a GB a couple years ago i never got into. i do have an OTS CH-46 USMC helo. they don't have floats but they fo float, at least as well as anything that old can. if that doesn't work no big deal. i also have an iralian one i have been starring at for a while.
PS i can do a badge if you have some ideas.

I never thought of helos, but if it's OK with Brandon......
I've got a few possibilities. Maybe the Martin Marlin.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I too was thinking about adding in Helos. My idea here is air birds that can land on water. So a floating Helo fits. Works for me. Perhaps we should post a feeler over in the Helo forums and add in pontoons or floating helos.
As far as badges, I have some ideas but not alot of skill at design. So we can discuss that as well.
Hi;
I guess then a Dehavilland Beaver with floats would qualify ? T.B.

The US Coast Guard has some cool floating Helos too.
You know Brandon, that's not a bad idea, and we me being an old Costie myself.
