As a kid I remember building a kit of some version of the PBY, as I recall the floats on the wing tips moved to both the up and down positions. I have not seen this kit since the 70's. Does anyone else remember it? Am I correct that is was a Revell kit? Has anyone heard if it will be reissued anytime soon?

Both great builds! And yes thats the model I remember. It does not appear in Revell's current catalog, at least not that I could find so I suppose its off to the Wild Wooly Web and eBay!
