Since I started this, I'd better get into it! Bought this one a while back on a whim and it looks like a pretty neat project. Markings to be determined. Also found a 1/72 Arai Cessna 172 on floats that I'll try to do in conjunction with the Mariner.
Let's see what the rest of you come up with...

I wondered if someone would do this one. Looking forward to having a template for the one in my stash!
Good choice Jaime - like the Gull wing and the canted tail - will you do the USN three colour scheme?
Haven't decided on a color scheme yet, David. Caracal makes some nice aftermarket decals for the kit and some of the subjects are pretty interesting. Glad there is some time until the deadline because it may take me that long to get to it!
Ordered one of the Caracal decal sheets for this model, which arrived a few days ago. I'm not too fond of the tricolor schemes, so I think this one will be in the overall dark sea blue, but I still haven't decided whether to leave the nose and upper turrets off yet. One of my markings options has the turrets, one doesn't. The kit includes the blanking plate for the upper turret and the small bow window to replace the nose turret. Decisons, decisions...
Jaime it's a shame you didn't get to do your Mariner, but just for inspiration here's one I prepared earlier, it's the Mach2 kit, built several years ago.
