I have printed onto decal paper -you can get two types, P&S Hobbies in Scarborough used to sell it.
I have found that a coat of varnish is required once the design has been printed as otherwise it is very fragile.
You have to cut around your decal carefully.
I printed designs for my railway wagons and gun carriers.

While the undercoat is drying I have been investigating the Short 184 - also based at Hornsea and Bessoneau hangars, two of which were used for storage of aircraft. Then of course a beaching trolley or two will be required.
I have also now acquired a Sopwith Schneider in 1/48 from Special Hobby, this being the basis for the Baby. This hopefully means that I will get it right eventually!

I suppose that I have taken too many short cuts and this may have to be consigned to the back of the Bessoneau hangar - of which there were two at Hornsea.
Rear floats and some undercoat.

Wait until the wing warping starts, it usually starts as the temperature rises.

It was certainly an ungainly machine - something a bit different, nice to see.

You lot really are pushing your luck.

I may have built one many many years ago.

Next the fuselage, this will be built up from plastic card, curved surfaces made by scoring the card. I intend to use a cowling from the spares box.
the cockpit was cut before assembly using a cork borer.
