This is the Boeing Canada a213 totem a modded version of the Boeing model 204. From what I found there must of only been one a213 totem I couldn't find anything on Wikipedia about it but I found a article about it saying that it was used by Canadian airways And used to transport passengers in British Columbia Canada other than that I could not find any other pics or info its basically Done now and ready to release!.
@Cedy117 I all ready made one come have a look
that would be cool and these boat plane are very slow so when they Land they come in very slow @CarlosDanger13
@Cedy117 I'm thinking of water craft to here's a idea a 1960s amphicar
How does that thing not face plant into the water?
Ok cool @AgDynamics
Looks great! If you're still looking for info I may be able to help, I've got a big ol' book at home with details on about 3500 planes. I'll check to see if this is in it later today!
Not certain yet but some time in the next couple days @Lucasmah
@Cedy117 do you have a release date?
Thanks gents! @RailfanEthan @Lucasmah
Lol it's all good I've changed the details to make it more accurate and its
The small tail that make it turn to one side if you roll very slightly it starts to turn to that side to that side @Skua
That looks.... Epic!!
Wow, that seaplane looks amazing! I cant wait (pun..)!
@Cedy117 maybe just download the one you sent me? It might fix it for you, no matter how daft that is haha
great it must off changed when I upload it because my original still had that problem I just over wrote it with my new one also thanks for the offer and pics @Skua
@Cedy117 I tested it out and it's flying perfectly straight for me. The drag is eeeeeever so slightly uneven if I look at it in the editor, but there's no way you would know in flight
Great thanks! those photos add some more angles I couldn't see in my other photos so I can add additional details @Skua
@Cedy117 that was one of the photos! The other two are here:
But as I said, they don't really add much. Still, that text source you found should help a lot with the differences, it's almost like a technical description. Photos of that model of engine seem to be pretty common too. I'll keep an eye on reddit and help out if I can!
Here's some info I found on it finally lol @Skua 05/31/2011. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "While proceeding with the manufacture of the C-204s and 40H-4s, Boeing of Canada pressed on with the design of a small flying boat. Chief Engineer, Edward Fothergill Elderton, was responsible for its design. Elderton was a British engineer who had come to Canadian Vickers from Saunders-Roe and then joined Boeing of Canada. The model number assigned, A-213, seems to fit in with the numbers in use by the parent company although the significance of the 'A' prefix is unknown. The name Totem is a contraction of totem pole.
The aircraft accommodated four people in an enclosed cabin which was entered through a hatch. Its design owed little to the parent company except for its aerofoil Boeing 103, and its rudder shape was influenced by the rudder of the Boeing 204. The hull was made of Alclad duralumin sheet with longitudinal stiffening beads in the skin and showed a strong Saunders-Roe influence. The fabric-covered wing had spruce spars and steel ribs. The tail surfaces were of welded steel-tube and fabric covered. A novel feature was the water rudder which retracted into the rudder proper.
While the evidence is not conclusive it appears that the Totem was first flown at Vancouver on June 16, 1932, by W.J. Holland. Powerplant was a 300 hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-985 Junior A nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine. On July 29, 1932, it was taken for its first preliminary full-load test by D.R. MacLaren. On September 25 it was reported that an official test had been made by A.H. Wilson, pilot, with R. Carter Guest, Civil Aviation Branch of the Department of National Defense, and Flight Lieutenant A.L. Johnson, Aeronautical Engineering Branch, RCAF, as official observers.
The Totem served all its life in British Columbia, with the occasional trip to Alaska. From May 1935 to January 1938 it was operated by Canadian Airways Ltd. and used primarily for fishery patrols. It was retired in 1942 and apparently scrapped. It was reported both on its official test and in service as having excellent characteristics both in the air and on the water. Unfortunately, the day of the flying-boat was over, especially in Canada where in most are as they were inoperable for about five months each year, and only one Totem was made.

This is the only real photo I could find I just went off the blueprints for the Boeing 204 the plane the 213 was based on @Skua
Shure I can use them ! I'm just going of the painting I'll send you a link to the plane on Reddit also @Skua
Also I found a couple more old grainy images of the plane if you want them, but I don't think they'll tell you much beyond what that painting does
@Cedy117 can you upload an unlisted version so I can look at that drag issue?
@Cedy117 thanks
I was working on one but I kind of forgot about it I could try finish it once I'm done with all my other projects @CarlosDanger13
A link to a problem I've been having with it
