This heavily modified copy of set 31064 (Island Adventures) is now based on a fictional aircraft from the 1930's-set animated Disney TV show 'TailSpin'. Technically it's a Conwing L-16 amphibious seaplane, but it's better known as the Sea Duck, and is piloted by Baloo. This anthropomorphic bear is originally from the 1967 Jungle Book film, and he is not alone in making that transition from the film to small screen, but you'll have to read the show's wiki page for more info as I don't have the space for a full synopsis! Sadly, the plane's pilot, Baloo, isn't possible to make as LEGO doesn't make a bear head in Black. Hopefully someday I will be able to get him built in real life! The rear of the plane. I extended the cargo bay a bit from the original set, and modified the horizontal tail to be stronger and less floppy using technic rods instead of pins. The cockpit roof opens to place a pilot at the controls. The cargo door opens as well. ... and that's all I got. Thoughts? MODS: I wasn't sure where to post this. Move it how you see fit, if you need to.
