Its gonna be reissued some time next year.
Anyone know if this version could be finished with the prewar chrome yellow wings, etc?

Not a -5A, that's the amphib, and later along in the series than even the straight -5 flying boat. You'd need to convert it to a -4 or earlier, I think.

I don't tink so, but check Osprey's 2 PBY books to be sure.
