Hi there!

 

This is My interpretation of the Super Catalina 'Tanker 53' from the Movie 'Always'

 

Build log can be found here:-

Items used:-

 

Revell 1/48 PBY-5A Catalina  Kit No; 04507

Italeri 1/48 B25 Mitchell Kit no; 2650 (Donor for engine cowlings and intakes)

Brassin 648 192 resin wheels

I found this a great kit to build with no major problems,fits are good,no flash to speak off and good surface detail.

I don't want to worry you, but there's a Greek bloke watching you through the window in some of those photos :unsure:

That is super!  What fun!  I love that film and you have done it proud with this very original build.  I think there should be more Film Birds built...like the Bristol on skies used in the Lee Marvin/Charles Bronson film.

Yes...Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, John Goodman and, I think, Audrey Hepburn's final role.  It is a remake of a 1943 film called 'A Guy Named Joe'---also a wonderful cameo by the musician and songwriter J.D. Souther playing "Smoke Get's In My Eyes".  Plus cool birds.
