The Sikorsky JRS-1 AND the Sikorsky S-43 amphibians are both now in my CLASSIC AIRSHIPS shop in 1/350th scale. They print well in "Strong & Flexible" but as ever, the Frosted Detail plastics give crisper detail. Both are available in either undercarriage up or undercarriage down mode, other scales will follow.

"53 S-43/JRS-1 "Baby Clippers" were produced (31 civil, 15 Navy, 2 Marine, and 5 USAAC). ...10 of the Navy's JRS-1s were at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, all survived the attack and one, BuNo 1063, is undergoing restoration at the Smithsonian today. Two civil S-43s have also survived, one originally owned by Howard Hughes and one at the Pima Air and Space Museum (painted as a Marine JRS-1)."
