Hi there!

I've got a Invader in the stash & decals to build the companion for this! Thanks for looking in! Keep Sticking! Cheers, Pete

Hi Eveybody! This is My first Aircraft build on Britmodeller,a conversion of the venerable Revell 1/48 PBY Catalina into a Super Catalina that appeared in the 1989 Steven Spielberg Movie 'Always'. You must remember the opening scene:- I'll be adding some aftermarket to this build,namely the Belcher Bits replacement tail,Eduard Window Masks,Eduard Brassin wheels,Quickboost 48 554 resin engines,SAC white metal undercarriage set and Draw Decals set:- The Super Catalina variant is re-engined from 1,200 hp P&W R1830 Twin Wasps to 1700 hp Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclones,I am taking care of these with the Quickboost set, and using a donor kit for the cowlings, in the shape of an Italeri 2650 B25 Mitchell kit (Accurate Minutures Moulds):- Other changes required will be remove the front gun turret,modify the nose shape,scracthbuild some 'speakers?' for each side of the nose and enlarge the rudder. I have already made a start, and will post a progress report soon. Keep Sticking! Cheers, Pete
