As you have all been so nice, another image:

It's a bit of a cheat at the moment, notice the blocks under the tail. Hopefully it won't be long now

Very difficult to see that this is all scratch built. Modelling at its very best.

  I've been following your progress from the start Richard and I must say this is some really great model building. It's going to be an outstanding replica when completed, and I'm looking very much forward to following you through to completion. Just lovely work!! 8) 8) 8)
Cheers,

I'm looking forward to joining the fuselage to the floats, then doing the float rigging. It can't be far off now

Floats pinned to fuselage, rear float fitted, float frame rigged, oh, and a tiny windshield for the observer
