Another aircraft ID challenge!

I was watching a "Grey Goose" Vodka commercial last night, and this aircraft (whether real or fictitious) was featured.

Any help? Thanks. NC

I do believe that model was originally a Fairchild C-119 Boxcar, but has been seriously fictionally modified!

Yeah, a C-119 with a flying boat hull and some wing floats. Very imaginative!

I wish it was real.

I wish there was a model of it!

I'm not usually attracted to fictional airplanes, but I'd make an exception for that!

Hmmmm, if the real C-119 was the Flying Boxcar, would a seaplane version be the Flying Barge?

Agree with you. It would make a beautiful model! NC

Yep, the base model is a C-119, but the hull modified and pontoons added to create a purely fictional float plane.

I suppose that after you consume enough Grey Goose, anything is possible!
