[CLOSED] Fleet Reconnissance Floatplane Challenge

Hits

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.

Rules

Must be succesor!
Maximum parts: 750
Maximum entires per person: 3
No stealing
No re-uploads
Both fictional and replicas allowed
No meme uploads
Must be a seaplane
Any time period

Criteria

Your aircraft will be rated out of 100.
20 for looks - does it look good?
20 for functionality - does it work well?
20 for realism - is it realistic?
10 for detail - is it detailed?
10 for flight - does it fly well/realistic?
10 bonus points if there’s something interesting
10 bonus points if I like it

For new players

To enter the challenge, download this then make the plane as you would normally. Then upload it as normal and it will be listed as a successor.

Due date: June 30th, 2024.

    @Alternation Its fine, I know you won't copy. There are plenty of aircraft you could replicate, look at the Wikipedia page.
