There are quite a few 1/48 Grumman Goose kits on eBay right now. |

The Goose is late 30s not late 20s. Loved Tales of the Gold Monkey, Bon Chance Louie, "I saw a Viking Funeral… once." |

The actual plane used for the show was up for sale 10+ years ago. It was out of my price range. |

Bon Chance Louie: Alas, I never had the opportunity, I was the 2nd Mate.
He had the best lines. |

If you want the same plane as the show, the Grumman G-21 "Goose" I see that ERTL made a diecast (size unknown to me)
