Wange PBY-5A Catalina 1:57 W5007

This set is a mix of bricks and moulded parts like a model (attached to sprues).   This is how they achieved the specialized shapes for the Catalina.   Makes for a beautiful looking set, but you will need to cut the parts from the sprues like you were building a model from Tamiya or Revell.  The rest are regular bricks.

The Consolidated Model 28, more commonly known as the PBY Catalina (US Navy designation), is a flying boat and amphibious aircraft that was produced in the 1930s and 1940s. In US Army service it was designated the OA-10, in Canadian service as the Canso and it later got the NATO reporting name Mop.[3] 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 in the air forces and navies of many other nations. The last military PBYs served until the 1980s. As of 2021, 86 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.

The Wange Catalina comes with 364 pieces.

Fully built the dimensions are 59x40x11 cm.
