This highly accurate high poly model closely replicates the actual dimensions, with a deviation of merely a few percent. It features an intricate exterior boasting struts, external bracing, pontoons, radial engines, flying surfaces, and hull. Animateable elements include ailerons, flaps, elevator, rudders, and propellers. The model includes textures, materials, and is available in various formats. Designed by Igor Sikorski, this aircraft was among the first successful commercial seaplanes for passenger transportation. The S42 was an unpressurized, 4-engine seaplane with a wing mounted on a pylon above the hull and four radial engines driving tractor propellers. It could accommodate 37 passengers and four crew members or 14. Pan Am utilized these aircraft, making them the first to visit the Hawaiian Islands. The last S42 retired in 1946.
