ok with the coming Mallard,makes me wonder...how many of the grumman babes do we have in FSX/P3D?

i know the goose,albatross,but do we have a flyable wigeon ?and what else would there be in that linage?..would be fun to have a hanger full...plus the catalina..i wish someone would make a good quality boeing 314....big but very pretty plane.

what say you?

The model is by Mario Noriega, circa 2009, for FSX. Here is a video I made in 2011. I had it in 'storage' but will check it out and provide a link for download of the FDEs. Of course, I 'souped' it up (a little). There is a VC panel upgrade by Mark Bradshaw for it. Link: https://youtu.be/ER6kMOHhxwA .

Just this month I made a video of the B-314, showing off the new FDEs (turbo prop conversion by me). I know the FDEs might not be 'real' but it's either that or pisston version with all the disadvantages and none of the FUN. Link: https://youtu.be/F1NB2aQXggc ,

As the Gosling, the Widgeon was one of Airfix's less mainstream models.

If you are interested in the Nardi Riviera, see the other thread on this page for the VC enhancements I've done and the download link. I have also done a basic paint kit for it with rivets and panel lines which I'll make available if anyone is interested.

Justflight has a Widgeon for FS2004 and FSX.

Its old, a portover, I think. No clickspots in the VC if using P3D, but it should work 100% in FSX. It has a nice airfile and a slightly aged VC.
