The scheme represents the period after the Pearl Harbor attack, in late 1941 and early 1942. Catalina crews used the aircraft's long range to search the surrounding ocean for enemy ships and report their positions, making these flying boats an important part of Hawaii's maritime defences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, this 1:72 diecast model captures the Catalina's broad wing, boat-shaped hull and distinctive observation blisters. It makes a substantial addition to a Pacific War or naval aviation display, highlighting the patrol aircraft that worked far beyond the coastline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA36112\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial \/ Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e BuNo. 2360 \/ 14-P-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patrol Squadron 14 (VP-14)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e NAS Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late 1941 \/ early 1942, after the Pearl Harbor attack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator \/ Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e US Navy \/ United States\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-range maritime patrol and reconnaissance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommemorative release:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pearl Harbor 80th Anniversary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast metal with plastic components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parasol wing, twin engines, wingtip floats and observation blisters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.75\" \/ 27.3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate wingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.13\" \/ 43.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel condition - Excellent (8\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderwing strut:\u003c\/strong\u003e One strut has come out of its mounting at one end and rests just below the locating hole.
