In the movie "The Aviator" (DiCaprio) Hughes pulls up to the beach to see Hepburn in his private seaplane. What is it? It's gotta be one of the most beautiful things with wings I've ever seen IMO. Has it ever been kitted?

You mean this one?..



It's a Sikorsky S-38. Google it and there's tons of pics and info. There was a Czech Masters resin kit at one point but I don't know about any others.

Google search has indicated that it definitely looks better from the front than in profile. However I love the wing structure.
