Interesting. That's about as pretty as seaplanes go.
I wonder if this kit is in any way related to their earlier plastic kit of the same subject or completely new?

Hi Eetu

I think related but expanded is probably the answer. Pavla describe the differences thus:

" Differences between the model kits Ref. Nos. 72060 and 72066.
Our new kit includes the decals for following aeroplanes:
N247 - a test flight machine
N247 - racing No.2, 1929 Schneider Trophy winner
N248 - racing No.8, 1929 Schneider Trophy entrant
The new kit also includes two types of the floats, one longer and the other shorter, which were fitted to the Supermarine S.6 N247, racing No.2, during the 1929 Schneider Trophy. This aeroplane eventually won the contest.
"

All the best

Hi Rowan
A very fine looking release from Pavlia of a gorgeous aircraft . Are there two differnt size floats on at the same time? It looks that way on the box illustration.
