Wet Sikorsky
Somewhat way OT, but I found this picture in the files of a dio I built of a Sikorsky S-38 in 1/48. It's an Inter-Island Airways bird offloading passengers and newspaper in a Hawaiian lagoon. (IIA later became Hawaiian Airlines). Figures are pieced together from Aurora and Monogram and Preiser figures, outrigger canoes are vac-formed, the lagoon water is several layers of colored resin and yes those are porpoises swimming under the surface. With good lighting you can see the reef and smaller fish.
My S-38 masters shortly thereafter became a kit from Tom's Modelworks.
