Put me in for one as well. I would still like to see the WWII "Black Cat" version of this as well.

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due. Very Bold For Herpa To Make Esoteric Airframes & Obscure Liveries.

Not really an obscure livery! This airline did become a part of Alaska Airlines history. Became a part of Alaska during its Golden Nugget era. These aircraft wore Golden Nugget livery after merger.

I remember there used to be a black and gold one of these Catalinas at FLL while I was working there, it was in flying condition. Interesting bird, this one.

Well I Don't Think That Particular Livery Is As Well Known As The Golden Nugget, Which In Itself Is Memorable Ony To Those That Are Grey Or Collectors Who Have Become Aware Of The Golden Nugget Only Through This Hobby, Myself Included.

What do you mean Collectors that are grey! I was born in 1974 an may know a hell of a lot more of the history of Alaska. Maybe for me already knowing is putting that ahead of what you know, here!

True, But The Point Is Even Todays Alaska Livery Is Not As Well Known To The World As Lufthansa Or KLM For Instance. The Golden Nugget Is More Obscure.
