The Catalina was slow, ugly and almost impossible to shoot down by boredom alone, because it stayed airborne for a day at a time. It found submarines, rescued downed crews and mapped coastlines, doing the unglamorous work of the war from a hull that could land on water.
The airframe holds 371,634 polygons and 388,788 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, textured with 66 maps all at 2048x2048. It carries CheckMate Lite and Pro certification, and a rigged build is offered separately.
At $149 it suits aviation history and documentary work, museum and exhibition material, flight simulation, film and game environments. On sale since 2017.
