Looking for a trans-atlantic/pacific flying boat

I know a couple exists over at Renderosity, one is the Boeing Clipper, but it doesn't have an interior, and the other is a Short Sunderland, but that's military.

I am looking for a flying boat, similar to this, https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-pan-flying-boat-yankee-model-1303166, that has an interior (both passenger decks and crew decks), or I am looking for a Short Solent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Solent) with an interior.

I am thinking of creating a lovecraftian horry story, and a flying boat would be the right era.

    As far as I know you will not find anything on this platform. I had a very similar problem some time ago. Back then I used the interior of the cargo plane, of course without air conditioning! With the right camera angle to hide that there are no windows, the result was satisfactory. https://www.daz3d.com/douglas-cargo-plane

    Maybe you want to switch to an airship? https://www.daz3d.com/zeppelin-star

    Dear 3d artists, I said it before and I will say it again and again: some simple little vignettes with cutouts from passenger cabins (airliner, zeppelin, ship, bus, train, old & recent) would sell very, very well on this platform! One or two rows of seats would be enough, we are flexible! There are a number of aircraft on this platform - but according to my research, not a single accurate airliner seat! Anyone looking for something useful in this regard must buy somewhere else...you are losing clients on this. See the source image See the source image

    Looks like a nice little project.

    I worked for an an aircraft interior design company as a stress engineer for a while, and have to say the fuselage side panels were a real headache for the designers using the CAD they had at the time (Unigraphics). Not an easy design shape at all. May be easier now with more modern tools.

    Regards,
