A credit to you Steve! its looking great mate. Your hardwood is a much finer grain than balsa wood, but an old aero modelling technique to fill wood grain is to mix in talcum powder with aero dope (thin varnish basically) until you have a smooth paste, the talc fills the grain and give a perfect surface, it might save your some sanding on your next project. looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Hi Reconciler, Sadly no Strikemaster, but the GR3 is impressive! as are the examples of ergonomic gymnastics (British aircraft cockpits) that they have on display, some rare items for this part of the world, 2 seat Hunter cockpit and B2 Canberra. Also have a 2 seat & single seat Vampire, Provost , BAE Hawk, SkyHawk and some lovely vintage gliders and civil aeroplanes.

Hi David, The Aussie decals, on the wing wouldnt bed down and eventually lifted, (even after gloss coat to seal them) but they were old so maybe that was the issue. I had to mask & airbrush them then needed to do the same for the fuselage to match and weather them also. If you build the Cat dont forget the spar well worth it for piece of mind, see my build pics. Cheers Stephen

Thanks, yes that is a really old newspaper it was found under the carpet of a house we renovated. Headline is the German invasion of Russia.

Hello All, One of the few kits I actually finished last year was this big old bird, great kit went together very nicely, only problem was with the quality of the Aussie decal sheet I used. Build pictures can be found here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939720-pby-catalina-raaf/ Roundels ended up being masked & sprayed as the decal peeled off! Hope you like it. Cheers Stephen

G'day All, Some in progress photo's of my Catalina build from last year. One issue i'd noticed on other 1/48 Catalina's that Ive seen (not that many!) is that the wings can tend to sag over time, hence I epoxied in a 1/4 inch brass tube to act as a spar. The model went together well with good fit of all major parts. I added an old Eduard set. Now when you manage to lose one of the beaching gear legs you will need to scratch build a new set! Gunze paints used along with Aussie Decals (which were the only source of bother in the build!) Rolling the PE gun barrels was fun... I also scrapped of the mooring line and added a cable from wire. The finished sea bird, hope you enjoyed the build, i'll post some more pics in the completed build section here:http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939722-pby-catalina-raaf-148/ A great kit, just so big, much larger than the Wellington, in 2011, which you can see here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234912701-148-vickers-wellington/ Cheers Stephen
