Very nice "Cat"!  For our Firebomber display several years ago I built a model of the PBY 5A as it appeared in the movie "Always".  My model is on the bottom shelf in the back corner.  This is a real plane (not Hollywood") that was based in Ephrata, WA near where I live.  The model is now owned by a very happy kid.
