    My model of Heinkel 115 floatplane, in Norwegian colours, crashed off the shelf and I cannot fin the near side float. It was made by Revell but I have no part number. Any ideas? Does anyone have one that they don't want. A long shot I know. Model is sentimental as dad was at Helensburgh when they arrived.

    If it's Revell that probably means it is re-release of the old FROG kit. Suggest you expand your dearch to nclude FROG.
    A good place to ask is here: Britmodeller.com

    If they can reproduce it, I would have it done

    Just out of curiosity: Could it be that you actually mean the kit from Special Hobby?
    It came out in 2013 in 1:48 with Norwegian markings...
    The He115 from Revell is only available in 1:72 (and is a rebox of an old Matchbox kit)

    1.48 SCALE YES, THE SPECIAL HOBBY NORWEGIAN 115 SOUNDS INTERESTING. THEY FLEW TO HELENSBURGH WHEN MY DAD WAS STATIONED THERE, SERIAL NUMBERS BV184 BV185 BV186 BV187. THE SPECIAL HOBBY MODEL WAS IN SCANDINAVIAN LIVERY
