Description

Corgi AA36113 depicts OA-10A Catalina 44-33915 “Miss Pick Up” of the USAAF’s 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron at Halesworth, Suffolk, in 1945. The squadron used its amphibious aircraft to search for and recover downed airmen from the North Sea, where rough water and enemy activity made rescue operations hazardous.

This 1:72 diecast model highlights the Catalina’s air-sea rescue role, with its broad wing, boat-shaped hull and distinctive observation blisters. It offers a substantial centrepiece for a USAAF or wartime rescue collection. This example is new in its box and includes the original shipping carton.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
