"Produced by Consolidated Aircraft, the PBY Catalina was a flying boat which later became an amphibious aircraft, used by several countries in the 1930's and 1940's. It is a long range aircraft, which did not require a runway to operate, as it was capable of both take-off and landing on the water. The PBY's uses included maritime patrol, bombing, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue missions. Remembered for their role in rescuing downed airmen, the PBY saved thousands of lives. Catalina airmen referred to their aircraft as the \"Cat\" on combat missions and \"Dumbo\" during air-sea rescue. The name Black Cats refers to a select group of squadrons whose mission it was to strike at night. Painting their aircraft matte black, installing special radar and flame dampers over the exhaust ports, and often using only the lights on their instrument gauges to guide them, these squadrons were virtually undetectable at night. This Die-cast metal airplane model comes in 1:150 scale with plastic stand and is approximately 5 1/8 inches long with 8 1/4 inch wingspan.<hr class=\"product-information\"><h3>Additional Information</h3>The Postage Stamp Collection represents aviation history from the first flight through the modern-day, encompassing military planes of all eras, commercial aircraft, and space.<br><br>The Postage Stamp Collection was created with the serious collector in mind as well as hobbyists and plane enthusiasts.<br><br><b>Whether you are a new or an experienced collector, Postage Stamp models are a great addition to your collection and perhaps spark the collector in you.</b>\n<div class=\"extra-description-row\">\n <div class=\"extra-description-column\">\n <div class=\"extra-description-content\">\n <img src=\"https://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/12015220/images/ps-details-1.jpg\" alt=\"Postage Stamp Airplane Models\" style=\"width:100%\">\n <h3>Die-cast Metal</h3>\n <ul>\n<li>Models are made with high quality die-cast metal with some parts being made with durable plastic.</li>\n<li>Models are solid fuselage.</li>\n</ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"extra-description-column\">\n <div class=\"extra-description-content\">\n <img src=\"https://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/12015220/images/ps-details-2.jpg\" alt=\"Postage Stamp Airplane Models\" style=\"width:100%\">\n <h3>Authentic &amp; Highly Detailed</h3>\n <ul>\n<li>Models carry authentic details from the original aircraft.</li>\n<li>Models are expertly painted with attention to the finest details.</li>\n</ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"extra-description-column\">\n <div class=\"extra-description-content\">\n <img src=\"https://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/12015220/images/ps-details-3.jpg\" alt=\"Postage Stamp Airplane Models\" style=\"width:100%\">\n <h3>True to Scale &amp; Easy to Collect</h3>\n <ul>\n<li>Model are true to scale.</li>\n<li>Models are similar in size to easily collect and display.</li>\n</ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"extra-description-column\">\n <div class=\"extra-description-content\">\n <img src=\"https://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/12015220/images/ps-details-4.jpg\" alt=\"Postage Stamp Airplane Models\" style=\"width:100%\">\n <h3>Display Stand</h3>\n <ul>\n<li>Models are depicted in flight mode.</li>\n<li>Snap together assembly, made from plastic.</li>\n</ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>"
