FYI, the decals from both WKA and AMA were designed around getting lots of photos of the subject aircraft and markings I have built quite a number of these previously for Auckland Seaplanes CEO and one as a parting gift for his then Chief Pilot when he left Auckland Seaplanes a couple of years ago... Incidentally, the zodiac is from the ancient Revell "Flying Calypso" PBY-6A kit Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr

Thanks Zac, I especially had fun with that last one. When completed the hammock even had a miniaturised printed version of "The Immortal Beaver" lying open (pages down, cover up) BTW the WKA model is also very time consuming and expensive to build (this is the third one I've built). I need to get a "Lift Here" resin turbo-Beaver kit, dump the aircraft but use its floats and build up new float struts from scratch to match the hobbycraft Beaver & then do all the mods to wingtips and fences etc (fortunately fences etc are provided in the turbo kit as well)

Fantastic, love how the hammock, fisherman and his catch add to the story.
