Looks like it was made with plastic and pinball parts.

Must be a 737 short config they are talking about in comparison.

I assume they ripped off enough technology by now to build something like this.

That ain’t no where’s near the size of a 747!
I think a 737 is bigger than this seaplane.

The world’s largest seaplane is still the Spruce Goose that Howard Hughs built.

Rather prosaic and pedestrian compared to this one;
AKA The Caspian Sea Monster - Soviet Union 1960s-80s - Ekranoplan is a ground-effect vehicle for flying over flat / ocean surfaces at about 13 feet!

That’s it. A C130 mated with a C141 and the Spruce Goose.

Looks like the Spruce Goose. And probably as successful.
