Default Can someone identify this PBY kit

Can someone help me identify what kit this PBY is?
My boy got it for me at a hobby store but it came without instructions and only came with the balsa skinned foam wing, fiberglass fusalage, broken elevator, Speed 600 motors and several servos. I have no other hardware, all of the plastic pieces are missing and I have no idea where the balancing point is or anything. I surfed the web and this kit is almost identical to what HVP Modell made and Hobby Lobby sold back in 1997 "but" the rudder on mine is one piece while the photo's of the HVP fiberglass model have the rudder stopping where the elevator mounts at. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much. The hobby store said they would look for the rest of the parts but have not gotten back with me.
Thanks,
Tom

Looks pretty much like the HVP Modell. See the thread 'catalina plans' on this forum.
