Hi Jim

Great camo scheme painting and also a very original way of displaying the seaplanes taking off
Thanks for sharing

Great little build Jim, cleanly built with plenty of details. Seaplane tenders should always be displayed with active aircraft, and yours is no exception.

thanks for sharing,

Frank

Great looking diorama Jim, always did like floatie wingee things and to have them and a ship in the same scene pretty well covers it all for me.
