Take a close look at the last picture and you can see the twin exhaust tubes coming out the bottom-not scale, just better looking.

Latest photo with floats painted and water rudder added. Now I'll install choke rod, connect fuel lines, and finish wiring and do servo setup.

Stunning!!!

For 17 years my dad took me fishing in northern Manitoba - lots of floatplane rides, and in the end helicopters too. The outfitter had two Noorduyn Norsemans built in 1948. Good times..
