This is a desktop display model of a Grumman HU-16 Albatross twin-engine amphibious flying boat, decorated in United States Coast Guard livery. The model is constructed from hand-carved wood, likely mahogany, with a high-gloss painted finish. The aircraft features a white fuselage with international orange accents and black detailing. Specific markings include the civil registration N226CG on the rear fuselage and the numbers HU-16 over 7226 beneath the horizontal stabilizer. The nose section is marked 7226 over SAN FRANCISCO. The fuselage sides bear the text COAST GUARD and the USCG emblem. The upper port wing is marked USCG, while the upper starboard wing features a U.S. military star and bars roundel. A similar roundel is present on the tail fin. The model is designed in a high-wing configuration with two three-bladed propellers and stabilizing floats mounted under the wings. It is supported by a black, curved pedestal display stand. While visually consistent with models produced by manufacturers such as Squadron Nostalgia and Scalecraft, no specific maker mark is visible on the item or the stand.
