Introduction
Well i always liked the XB42/43 mixmaster/jetmaster so i thought, why not convert it to a seaplane / flyingboat / amphibian.
I used a similar bomb bay design to some of my old (very) builds but i thought i worked well on this.
It works well both on land and water now (its a bit of a wanderer on land so careful on takeoff)
