Grumman Goose, 1/48 scale

Hi All:
On the shelf of my local plastic emporium yesterday was a kit I have
long wanted, a 1/48 scale Grumman JRF (Goose) flying boat. Kit is by
Czech Models, number 4812. What did I get for $42 U.S.?
1 large bag of gray plastic parts, don't look like your usual short run
moldings either. Panel lines are mixed, some engraved, some raised, but
it was like that on the original aircraft. Surface is smooth, not the
grainy surface seen on a lot of short run moldings. There is also a bag
of resin parts for the interior and engine faces, look to be by True
Details.
Decals are provided for one aircraft in Royal Air Force markings and
two U.S. Navy, one in three tone scheme and one in overall sea blue.
There are a couple of parts on the main sprues and a couple of the
clear parts marked as not used that tells me there will be another
release of this kit with other variations of the JRF family. Overall,
looks like a nice basis for a model of one of Grumman's less known but
widely used aircraft designs.
Now if someone would just do the smaller version with the inline
engined Ranger engines! Widgeon??
