It's fun to watch you build these!

Perhaps it's just me, but the Kingfisher has always appeared awkward to me when it is equipped for shore operation. I suppose it is because I'm so accustomed to the seagoing version.

I'd quote 2ndAF - it's really awkward when you look at a Kingfisher without floats, but nevertheless, there's again more than nice sample of your artwork
BTW, these mexican triangles look pretty much like Hungarian, only colour shades are not the same...

Thank you for comments Well, it is common look to see Kingfisher with floats but when customer say 'with landing gear' then I make it like this... Problem is that Mexico have only six this land plane versions and later get float plane and really not much images can be found.

I think a much larger engine would balance the airplane.  Being a Vought product it has similar lines to the Corsair. If it had an R-2800 things would look just about right!!!

I love the Mexican markings and camouflage. I may have to build the kit I have in storage now that you've inspired me....
