Synopsis:
Elaboration:

Is there anything weirder that the real-life Westland-Delanne P.12 Wendover prototype (below right)? Well, yes, a float version thereof!!

The floats are from a whif Hurricane I found on the What If forum (and snatched from, I believe, a Japanese floatplane). In top view I took them from another Japanese design (a Kawanishi I think) but I stretched them and reworked them some, so I guess if you want to make a plastic model of it, you can just go for whatever floats seem the right size for the design.
