After four design iterations since its first flight in 1935, a fifth incarnation incorporated amphibious capabilities. Today, the Catalina is often cited for its part in the rescue of survivors from the torpedoed U.S.S. Indianapolis in 1945, risking 12-foot swells to save crew members helplessly adrift in shark-infested waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit comes from the classic Monogram tooling. This was of the first Aircraft kits they produced along with the B-26 and the B-25 which we also own the tooling for. The kit features engraved markings and lots of rivets but is a classic. It has a wingspan of 12 inches and measures 8.25 inches long. Decals are included for 2 versions and it comes with a nice sprue of clear parts, 6 in total. New artwork based on a PBY rescuing the men from the ill fated USS Indianapolis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/104\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.5 inches long with a wingspan of 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges 14 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Paints: Black, Red, Gray, Yellow, Silver, Flesh, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlantis Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51158764912853,"sku":"ATM5301","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/atlantis-models-m5301-1-104-pby-5a-us-navy-catalina-seaplane-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1740843564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/atlantis-models-m5301-1-104-pby-5a-us-navy-catalina-seaplane-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
