I'm lost! Linberg or Heller? Missing part of the motor! Still looks like fun!

Looks like the zodiac boat and diver from the Revell 1/72 Jacques Cousteau PBY. It had another name I think but don't recall. Revell Germany re-released the Calypso in 1/125 (although its labeled as exploration vessel or something similar), but no re-release of the PBY.

That's definitely the diver and zodiac boat from the Costeau PBY kit, with the outboard motor, diving platforms for the side of the aircraft, and I think an underwater propulsion unit half (not sure what it's called). I never built my kit as a Costeau A/C, but sure recognize the parts.

David, Russ,

Thank you. It's approx 1/72. I found it in a bag of model parts a friend gave me 30 years ago.

Anyone need these parts?
