Ignacio Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi fellow modellers, this is my last finished project. It´s the nice PBY-5A Catalina from Academy in 1/72. i added some extras like Eduard PE and Starfighter decals to depict the first allied airplane to land in Guadalcanal in 1942. Althought I don´t think it carried any bombs, I choose to use some on my model. Build is very straightforward. It was painted with Testors acrylics and oil washed. Smoke stains were made with pastel chalks. I hope you like it and every comment and critics are welcomed! Best regards from Uruguay!

Alan Sannazzaro Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That's a great looking Catalina, fantastic to see. The photi etch really adds to it. You beat me to posting. I've just finished an RNZAF one, and am building a diorama base for it at the moment- watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 One of the best Catalinas I've seen in 1/72nd! That offset nose wheel does a lot for adding 'life' as well. Superb modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneel Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 beautiful catalina! great work! we need more catalinas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Modeller Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've always loved the shape of the Catalina with its' big high wing and those twin radials, it's just a cool looking plane and sounds so sweet when you hear a real one rumble past!! I fully intend to build one in the next year sometime, just wish Airfix would release one in a new tooling instead of keep dishing up their old donkey over and over again? A very nice build Ignacio - well done!! Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
