Default Which plane am I looking for?

Please help, I thought it was the kingfisher, but ot's not. I am looking for a WWII single radial, single float with outriggers, retracts into side of center float. As I recall, it was a recognesance/mail/transport, mostly used in the Pacific region during WWII. The center float is a complete part of the fuse, looks like a big tongue, sticking out in fron under the prop. I believe the plane was in one of the episodes of "Black Sheep Squadron". The pilot sits in an open (I believe) cockpit on top, passengers or cargo is loaded through a door in the side of the fuse.
I would love to find first the name, then a kit or plans for a model of this plane. I have a Maccullogh100 engine sitting here, looking for something to haul around, so a large model would be great.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
