Not to be a Richard, but by definition an amphibious aircraft is one that can take off and land on both land and water.
The Goose is a good example.
That’s pretty funny when you think about it. They don’t have to do both, but they can. [:D]

Ok, I have you down.
This is really gonna be a cool GB.
BK
Does frozen water count? I bought this the other day.
LOL CD that’s a good question. I don’t think we thought of that.
I gonna have to go ahead and say it doesn’t fit the theme of the build. We’re gonna stick with float planes and boats or pontooned helos.
BK
a reasonable answer to a smart-assed question.
I may join later. I have IDF decals for a PBY-5a but not the kit at the moment.
I added the badge to the roster. I hope you guys approve.
BK
Top notch badge. Very cool.
Check this out. I count at least 7 floats and boats, at least 4 different types. COOL !!
Bish, I thought you might appreciate this one.
Now thats a nice pic, and good to see these still flying. Not many wartime German aircraft types are still airworthy, so anything is a bonus.
Nice job on the badge as well, i like that.
And that’s a shame too. Some of those pre-war German floats were absolutely gorgeous. I would relish an opportunity to see that one for sure.
Bish - Dollar for dollar, the 1/72 Sword 196 is the finest one on the market. Now if Eduard would just get moving on a canopy mask!
I keep following this thread even though I haven’t joined the build. Sign me up for a PBY-5A Catalina in 1:48. IDF markings.
Glad to have you aboard. You’re on the roster.
BK
Thanks Mopar. Another company has a mask for that kit, RES-IM.
Fantastic. Thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this one! Please put me down for a 1/32 Revell Arado Ar-196 B floatplane and a 1/48 Mirage Lublin R XIII Ter/Hydro.
I’ll be building the Revell out of the box except for the addition of HGW belts, and the Lublin will be built with the Part PE set.
I have a feeling one will be significantly easier than the other.

I keep telling myself I’m going to grab one of those 32nd scale Arados! I’m looking forward to seeing your build.
