This high-fidelity model closely represents actual dimensions, being within a few percentage points. It meticulously exhibits features like struts, external bracing, pontoons, radial engines, flying surfaces, and hull. The model boasts animatable elements such as ailerons, flaps, elevator, rudders, and propellers. Textures and materials are included, available in various formats. Designed by Igor Sikorski, this aircraft was an innovative commercial seaplane with four unpressurized radial engines. The wings were mounted on a pylon above the hull, propelled by tractor-mounted propellers. Capable of carrying 37 passengers and four crew members or 14 configurations, these planes served Pan Am, inaugurating flights to the Hawaiian Islands. Retirement marked the end in 1946.
