Well we'll start with the wings.. bugger me they are longer than I expected.. and warped to hell.

So Jigs to get them straight..

I ended up using a 5mm brass rod as a wing spar!

Michael Kohl
Uhhh, in 1:48 this is going to be big. I was staggered to find out how big mine in scale 1:72 is. Good luck with it.
15 November 2021, 15:56
Augie
Yeah. I was surprised at how wide the span was...

@Andrea, good idea, I forgot about that, so went with what was on hand 😄

Clifford Keesler
Looking great Augie, it's going to be a stunner.

Robert Podkoński
This is simply impossible you have painted all that white, yellow and red areas with a brush, Augie... Look absolutely flawless. And your Catalina looks great already!

Simon Nagorsnik
Very colorful- nice!

Augie
Thanks guys🙂 Robert, i swear its all brush 🙂

Guy Rump
very impressive 👍

Michael Kohl
I see your bubble canopies open. Are they two part pieces or you cut them open? Apart from that your brushing results impress again and again.
19 December 2021, 13:23
Augie
Thank you both

@ Michael, they are two piece sadly but with a little care they'll slip in ok.
19 December 2021, 13:34
Michael Kohl
Well I would have prefered to have mine (scale 1:72 PBY5A Revell/Academy) as a two piece part. Like this I had to cut one apart. Your kit seem to have the shape at the lower half correct too - unlike the Academy ones, which are incorrect.

Robert Podkoński
I really believe you, Augie, I am just impressed with your painting skills... (and what kit will you get for birthday, tomorrow? 😉 )

Really cool. Great color scheme, and I bet that yellow was tough.
20 December 2021, 03:12
Augie

@Ben, the white and yellow were pain in the arse
