Recently, I acquired a plans book of peanut scale plans and three views. More than a few I was familiar with, while a couple I knew next to nothing about, the Blackburn Blackburd and the Gotha Ursinus floatplane. While I have heard a bit about the Blackburd(including an explanation about the spelling of the name), the Ursinus I knew next to nothing about, save that it was a floatplane with retractable floats. I wasn't even aware that there was a general arrangement three view available.
What I'd like to know is is there a model of this? Or, if I wanted to model this, would I have to settle for trying to scratch build it? Which, if I cogitate on this long enough, perhaps I might get the inspiration to do so, although something this complex(in a relative sense) would take quite a bit of think and consideration.

I heard Lone Star was doing a Gothe G.I. Also there was an article in an old C&C USA on the Gotha Ursinus floatplane.
