From the attack on Pearl Harbor thru war's end, the PBY saw service in nearly every combat theater around the globe-from icy Greenland and Alaska to the steaming tropics of the South Pacific where many personnel of downed bombers owed their lives to at-sea rescues by PBY's. When the war terminated in 1945, many surviving Catalina's began new careers as cargo transports, forest fire water bombers and members of geophysical survey teams. In these and other civilian roles, a number of PBY's continued to successfully operate until the early 1980's. Wing Span: 45½\" Scale: 1\/28 Min. Age: 14 An impressive scale \"Build 'n Show\" display model of the most successful flying boat ever produced. This kit can be built as either a PBY-5 flying boat or a PBY-5a amphibious flying boat with floats and wheels retracted or in the landing position. For ages 14 and up.
