Hey, good point about the body of the plane functioning as a pontoon. I did
overlook that possibility (though I'm still not too crazy about the pontoon
plane set). I don't remember if I already mentioned this, but simply including
a couple of those chubby spiders in the set might have improved my opinion of
it.
Thanks to Hao-yang for sharing the research and links to V Vedette plane. I
love reference stuff like that (both for building ideas and for
adventurers-related knowledge)!
