Bobscardmodels has one, if you want to quench your thirst.
But as Rob said, this one has a Murph's touch and is special. |

Murph
Thanks for the clarification. I typed in haste on my way out the door and did not fact check myself. I did remember some sort of a Sikorsky flying boat..... Isaac

What Pericles hasn't shown yet is that I included optional detailed engines for if you want to leave the cowling rings off. I believe the S-40B(?) had bigger engines without the cowlings and the landing gear removed.

So that is what has been keeping you busy . Wonderful work. Will have to find some pictures of one in RCAF camo for a repaint . Now that you have this one with four radials out of the way, maybe hope for one with four Allisons? Keep up the great work.

I am always learning new things in the Forum. Until I read Pericles' response to John,I did not know that the three S-40s were turned over to the U.S. Navy. I see from the Wiki article on the S-40 that they were used for four-engine training until they were scrapped in 1943.
I must dig our my old issues of The American Aviation Historical Society Journal, which in the Winter 2006 issue reprinted an October 1931 Aviation article on the S-40 with some excellent additional images and Skyways, which October 2006 [good year for S-40 articles] ran a well-illustrated article on the S-40.
