Nice additions.
I only can't say I like the canopy on Savage, which seems too square.

Boeing PBB-1 Sea Ranger

The largest twin-engined seaplane of WWII.

Designed in 1940 as a patrol bomber, able to operate in the Pacific without the need for airfields, the Boeing 344 first flew in 1942. However even by that time the need for long range bombers able to operate independently from airfields had passed. Boeing's production of B-29's was given higher priority, and so only the prototype was constructed. It continued in USN testing until 1947, being informally nicknamed the "Lone Ranger".

A shame that only one was built; imagine if many more were built for use by USN and her allies via Lend-Lease.

Nice work, too.

Thanks @LtMaverick114.
I'm in the middle of drawing up a family tree of Martin's flying boat designs - including the extended Mars family - including the civil airliner variants.

That is really something to look out for.
