That is a nice beach you have there António
And some nice blue ocean water
Makes me want to jump in and have a swim

Great job Buddy.

Thank you Will , it wasn't my initial idea , but I really must start to stop thinking in 'Super Productions in IMAX 3D' :D , start not having Space, but in the end like the way it turned to !

What a great dio. Plane build is excellent too, like the weathering through to the green instead of the normal aluminium. Nice touch.

Love this. So glad to see floaty planes, and I agree with the above, that water looks inviting.

Well done!
