The lack of flying boats in 400 scale (aside from the Herpa Catalinas) has been an annoyance for a long time considering their importance in developing long-haul air travel.

They can be found on eBay for peanuts and while a little toylike are surprisingly decent. Here's NC18605 'Dixie Clipper' the aircraft that began the first 314 service, the 6 day San Francisco - Hong Kong route, on February 23, 1939.
