Does anyone happen to have this kit as well as a desire to part with it?

Seaplane version only, please.

Thanks,
Michael

Michael, there's a new book out on that airplane.  Go here for more info:

I've been thinking about getting it, only 30 dollars with shipping.

Thanks, Mack!

Yeah, I saw this earlier this week and will definitely get it. The kit came in on Tuesday. It's definitely not WnW but, considering its age, it is fine.

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

My friend Winston of Zumbro Valley Scale Modellers has the Nitto kit. The kit is beautiful!
I want one too.

Well, glad to say I now have one. It is pretty basic kit, but, considering that  it is a fabric covered aircraft, at least there won't be any rescribing of panel lines, etc. I'm sure I can find some replacement cylinders somewhere for the portions of the engine that are exposed  and, after a few more Wingnuts builds, I will be ready to tackle the cockpit scratch build. I cannot attest to dimensions and overall shape but to me, it looks like it will be a fun kit to build at some point way down the line.

 Sayonara, y'all,
