The resin floats include rudders at
the back with molded in actuators on both sides.
The tail has has lovely ribbing
on the rudder and beautifully executed recessed panel lines. The floats
also had the same carefully done panel lines. The two pages of instructions
include line drawings of the side and bottom view. You also get 4 views of
the finished aircraft showing decal placement. The decals are beautifully printed on 1
decal sheet on a single carrier film so you will need to cut them separately
from the decal sheet.
I have a passion for floatplanes
so this resin set is of much interest to me.
