The more I looked at it the more it was bugging me so I had to find a plan.
It ended to be a 3 days of work (about 25 hours, from start to finish, redoing the CAD, printing the parts, cutting the hull etc...)

I remember that on my first try (16th version). I didn't consider the side profile of the nose needed to be longer from the 2D plans. Easier on the second bigger DUKW (lesson learned). I spent many hours fixing the little one's nose.

Tremendous work Mr Tox!

Yes I remember when you mentioned it in your thread (I read your thread several times 😂).
Why can't we get things OK the first time? 😂
Unlike, there won't be a second one so my test bed is also the final iteration of it. :D

Thank you for your kind words guys!
