Description
Captain Nemo just wasn't in this league at all, was he? I've been spending some down-time making models. The "Glen" was a submarine-launched reconnaisance floatplane used by IJN submarines to scout for targets. As a case in point, the submarine flotilla sent to attack Sydney with midget submarines at the end of May 1942, put a "Glen " over the city the night before- and its crew confirmed the presence of an American heavy cruiser in the anchorage. That heavy cruiser was the USS Chicago... but thats another upload...
The E14Y1's other claim to fame? Well, despite its unassuming looks, the "Glen" is apparently the only aircraft of any nation's armed forces that ever struck at the mainland USA.
Modelled in Shade 10.5. Still untextured.
Thanks for viewing.

Nice work and thanks for sharing this piece of history about the bombing.
Good job.
I hope you guys aren't intending to go to war with your arsenals here on renderosity. They seem to be escalating. It's a good thing that neither you nor Neil are very belligerent! Very nice work.
