Consolidated PB2Y Coronado
| The XPB2Y-1 prototype of the Coronado, ordered in 1936, was first flown in December 1937 and delivered to the US Navy in August 1938. After service trials it served for some time as Flagship of Aircraft, Scouting Force, US Navy. The first PB2Y-2 (the production development) went into service in January 1941. The PB2 Y-3 was ordered in quantity in 1941 and remained in production until 1944 as a long-range patrol-bomber flying-boat.
Many Coronado flying-boats were converted into transports under the designation PB2Y-3R, with military equipment removed, nose and tail turret positions faired over and the four 894kW Pratt & Whitney R-1830-88 Twin Wasp engines replaced by R-1830-92. Accommodation in this version was for a crew of five (instead of ten) and 44 passengers; 7,257kg of cargo; or 24 passengers and 3,900kg of cargo. A naval ambulance version of the Coronado was also produced as the PB2Y-5H, accommodating 25 stretchers. A total of 210 PB2Y-3 were built, ten of which were acquired by RAF Transport Command for transatlantic freight carrying. Your model will be made exactly as shown in the photographs.
