I've gotta say I'm not usually a fan of this sort of paint but the shark on that sea plane is the doggies. If anything ever looked like it belonged.. that paint does:encouragement:

Looking at the engine mounting (above the wing) and main gear location, it's more likely a Chaika L-44

Thanks. Good-looking plane. Probably some "interesting" flight characteristics, though. I'll have to do a little research on that one.
