Kampfflieger's Piaggio P.C. 7 racer

Here's a plane I've had for a while and always wanted to build. The Piaggio P.C. 7 from Master Roman Vasyliev. The original aircraft was built to compete in the 1929 Schneider Trophy race. It shows thinking way outside the box. Instead of floats, the aircraft had hydrofoils and a water propeller to get the fuselage out of the water for takeoff.

The model has a few lines that don't quite line up but builds up to be a beautiful model. I made a paper cylinder for the prop so the propeller can be rotated. The water propeller has a toothpick inside that allows it to rotate also.

I'm pretty sure I originally got the model from ecardmodels.com, but I don't see it in their current selection.
