Academy 1/72 RAAF PBY-5A Catalina "Black Cat" Seaplane Bomber Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The Consolidated PBY Catalina is a flying boat and amphibious aircraft produced in the 1930s and 1940s. In Canadian service, it was known as the Canso. It was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. Catalinas served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces and many other nations' air forces and navies. The last military PBYs served until the 1980s. As of 2014, nearly 80 years after its first flight, the aircraft continues to fly as a waterbomber (or airtanker) in aerial firefighting operations in some parts of the world. None remain in military service.
