The MDC Product’s resin float is very heavy and was connected using pins top and bottom. The resin itself isn't very good; its detail is lost in places and needed re-drilling and re-scribing. Anyway, it was still an enjoyable build.

The only decal is the tail numbers, everything else is painted using my own masks.
