Anigrand craftwork have released the super flying boat design, the Convair XP5Y-1 Tradewind.

Aircraft History
In 1944, the US Navy asked the industries to enter a design competition for a 105,000 pound patrol boat powered by four radials. At the end of the war, two Blohm & Voss Bv.222 flying boats were captured by US forces. Convair acquired one for evaluation at Naval Air Station, the intensive studies leading to the hull design of their Model 117. In early 1946, Convair received a requirement from the US Navy for a large flying-boat using the new laminar flow wing and the developing turboprop technology. They submitted the Model 117, and was awarded a contract for two prototypes, designated XP5Y-1 Tradewind. The first aircraft first flew in 1950 at San Diego. It set a turboprop endurance record of 8 hours 6 minutes. The second prototype was never flown and the decision was made to continue testing the first aircraft until all engines on order were depleted. However, before this happened, the first aircraft crashed in 1953. The Navy decided not to proceed with the patrol boat version but directed that the design should be developed into a passenger and cargo aircraft. The Tradewind program was redesignated R3Y-1.
