HOUSTON Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sroubos, Excellent and a worthy tribute to your great uncle and the crew. I think it looks SPECTACULAR .... BEAUTIFULLY completed... I am sure your parents will love having it there as a reminder of the family's connections.. I also like your bibliography that you added at the end. Most professional and a man after MY own heart.. KUDOS on a STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS model.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A beautiful model and a marvellous tale of 'derring-do' to give it some context.....What more could you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I sent the link for this topic to someone and noticed I referred to the Catalinas as being part of the ML-KNIL (Army Air service) instead of the MLD (Navy Air Force)... what a mistake. Had to correct that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Can't help with anything specifically for the Airfix kit, but these might be adaptable:. https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?product_category_id=&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=&code=&product_type_id=2568&scale_id=956&keyword_search=Catalina&setPerPage=25¤cy_id= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve4536 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've been up close to one of these back in the 90s and a very impressive machine they were. You've done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
