Default RE: Shavrov SH-2

I didn't realize there was a model available of this plane. I saw a full-scale at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur Airport in St Louis. Man, when they say flying boat, they meant it. The fuse looked like a large dinghy with sponsons and a wing and tail. The wheels had a big crank in the cockpit to pivot them forward or down. It was about as basic a plane as you could imagine.

Sorry the pics aren't better, the plane was in the rear of the hangar and it was a bit dark.
