Fictional T-tailed Flying Boat
The design of this model, a twin-engined flying boat with a t-tail, does not appear to be based directly on any real-world aircraft.
General shape is not too far of the Shin Meiwa UF-XS, a converted Grumman HU-16 Albatross testbed demonstrator and aircraft (December 1962 - 1964). But this unique airframe was modified too with two additional engines and a camel hump (air intake) over the cockpit. The successful program led to the Shin Meiwa PS-1 (maiden flight at the end of 1967) whose silhouette is closer to that of the Martin P5M Marlin.
