No no best seaplane Fiat RS.14.

STOP PRESS! I found an Italian Flying Boat: The CANT Z.501.

It looks ugly compared to the Shagbat though

The what?

mosquitoman · Apr 30, 2005

Supermarine Walrus, it's nickname was the Shagbat for some reason

Thats cheek, the Walrus is one of the most foul looking planes ever to hobble in to the skies

mosquitoman · Apr 30, 2005

Compared to that CANT monstrosity, it looks like a Spitfire

Ok, the CANT isnt great but theres nothing really bad about it - To be honest I dont really think there are any good looking flying boats.
