PBY 5A Catalina 1/72

I decided to buy this kit. I've always like the PBYs. This kit measures 10.6", 17", 3". This will probably be a fun build!

Absolutely.

I would love to join in another group build however I just built this kit a couple of months ago.
I mentioned that I have a Grumman J2F Duck in my stash. Maybe I can substitute it in?

We will be looking for advice from the master.......Pantherman

 

[TimM63]

First piece of advice, if you are going to display it landing gear down and sitting on a shelf or table don't forget to put some weight in the front.

Or just throw some bait on the porch like our friend and wait for one, or two, to turn up !!!!!!! Pantherman

Any idea when the grease monkeys will be starting on the floating bird ? Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

The end of next week, perhaps? At least for me. I want to wrap up a couple things first.

Not for me. I'm working that day, which is also our wedding anniversary. If we head over to New Orleans I'll be out of pocket for a few days enjoying a tasty adult beverage with my bride.

Nice. My anniversary is April 15. (Tax day). We will be going into San Francisco for a show and dinner. Going to the ACT theatre.

Is anyone familiar with Glencoe Models? I have never heard of the brand before.
I just realized this is a biplane.
Not sure I’m ready for another one yet.



Maybe I will build the Aichi M6A1 Seiran instead.

I'm not ready for another biplane either, or ever lol.
It's a cool model, though.
As far as the brand I have no idea. Keith aka Urumomo might be able to help.
