looks like a Kawanishi or sort of same planes. i remember building a clay model of it. just a guess and as you see, the camouflage is almost the same.

marbucu, what's that? Is it the clay model you mentioned earlier, or is it a paperone?

no papermate, i'm just refering it to Jan as our guess. i lost the clay model long ago and perhaps try to dig into my boneyard and see if my my late father has this model. he is into WW2 era models. i remember him as handing me my very first model of F-4e and Mig-21 on paper. I forgot the model manufacturer. but it's history already, long time ago. anyway do we guess it right?

Okay guys, I'm letting the cat out of the bag. After showing the following build pics, it will be clear what I'm building. You guys are smart, I must say. As promised, I'll announce properly when the plane is finished.

Don, thanks for the video clip. I didn't shrink to 1/200, it came as it is from Fanatyk Kartonu and the designer being Dawid Furczak. I'll be posting the full picture soon.

To speed things up, here is the latest update, No. 24, in this series, Kawanishi H8K2 aka Emily, scale 1/200, a free download, from Fanatyk Kartonu. I had it printed months ago and finally get it done. It wasn't plain sailing in building this model. I messed up with the "planing" hull and had to re-print two of the bull parts before fixing it right. All the props spin thus modifying a little the cones inside the engine cowlings was necessary. The most tedious part was cutting out the 4 engine cowlings, each having 24 petals to cut and shape and curve and glue! Phew, it's finished.
