Wow. Of all the planes to do, he's picked this one! Outstanding! Yeah, that's a must purchase. I hope though, that he's changed up his resin mix a bit. What ever he used in his last batch really, really stank. I had to set the kits out opened up out in the garage for a week before they'd sufficiently outgassed to be bearable.

Still though, wow, a B-20. I wonder if he's used metal rods inside the resin castings of the float / hull extension struts. If not, then that'll definitely be replaced by wire or tube on this end.

Great find! Thanks for posting it here Homebee!
