[CLOSED] Fleet Reconnissance Floatplane Challenge
Welcome to the Kenzar Fleet Reconnaissance Floatplane Challenge!
Intro
To kick off the month, I decided to make a challenge for one of the most underrated types of aircraft. Without these aircraft, fleets of warships would be blind.
What is a Fleet Recon Floatplane?
Fleet Recon Floatplanes are seaplanes designed to be launched from ships to provide forward reconnaissance and fire directory. They were typically armed with light machine guns, turrets, and some even had bombs. They were usually designed to have a single engine and be launched from catapults aboard warships.

@MrSilverWolf :(
@1CECUBE3ATER please don’t make those sort of comments on the site
@Kenzar please if you see comments that may be against the rules please report them and let us take care of it
@Kenzar gotcha! Finished my fuselage, still working out the wings
Any limits on ordanance?
@Kenzar time to make my Lockheed OS8L
Its a common floatplane used on battleships like the King George V and Rodney
@Kenzar I already found one, maybe the Supermarine Walrus
@Alternation Its fine, I know you won't copy. There are plenty of aircraft you could replicate, look at the Wikipedia page.
@Alternation could try a Loire 130, there’s not one on here I could find and it’s pretty cool too
I could just joined this challenge, but the problem is I only make replicas, and there is not enough existing replicas i can make without look like i'm copying other's build
@Noidtouse yes
I swear this game just hates seaplanes
@Boeing727200F ok
Allergic to grass plebs
Great topic - spotlighted. Good luck with the challenge.
