Just watching this on tv yesterday. Last time I saw it was about 30 years ago at the local cinema. I had a vague memory that the floatplane they used was a Walrus or similar, but looking at it again it looks more like a Supermarine sealion or similar (certainly got open cockpits so def' not a Walrus). I noticed that it also has 'hat in the ring' markings on the nose so maybe it's intended to be a US design (some sort of Curtiss, maybe?).

I know it's not intended to be accurate (it's not that kind of film), but I was just wondering as the Amphibian vs Pterodactyl 'dogfight' has me thinking about future diorama possibilities :) .

Any ideas?

Steve.
