Default Jet powered Seaplanes/Float Planes?

Yeah I'm just wondering if there are any jet powered RC seaplanes or float planes out there, or if it was possible to adapt an existing seaplane or float plane to be powered by a jet or two.

Thanks,

Robert

There was a guy who built a really gorgeous model of the Martin P6M Seamaster, but I never heard that he flew it. It had electric ducted fans.
