Revell 1/48 PBY/0A-10A Catalina Flying Boat Kit (85-5617)

One of the most important capabilities of the Catalina patrol bomber was its long endurance time and durability. During World War II, in addition to the plane's scouting duties, this rugged flying boat was invaluable as a search and rescue tool. Following the War, the U.S. Air Force continued these operations with two hundred and thirty PBY-5As, built for the Navy but were released to the Army and were designated OA-10A.
