I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this yet:

Hopefully, AM manufacturers will recognize the Canadian versions, which had the Wright R-1820-82 engine, which mean't reconfigured engine cowlings.

The Albatross was used in Vietnam, to rescue downed airmen and to infiltrate/exfiltrate personnel on covert missions. I even found one that was painted black, on the upper surfaces. These aircraft would make interesting subjects for models.
