jimbob22 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 OK so here is A model I just pulled out of the stash...An Airfix Catalina from 1963.........with a ton of missing parts,a couple of missing sprues and an entire wing lost to the stars But anyway I'm having a go at it and might make a scrapyard dio for it.. sprues:
Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Well, this is going to be an interesting project! I look forward to seeing the next instalment. 1
jimbob22 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Posted July 30, 2016 next up we've got the fuselage halves done middle of wings glued together and engines on: 3
rob85 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I love the cat, and have this kit. Looking forward to what you pull out the bag with 2/3 of a kit! Rob
John_W Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Remember it needs a lot of nose weight. Then add a bit more...
perdu Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Then cut out the cockpit windows and add more with "Liquid Gravity"... Don't ask This has got to be fun to watch 1
jean Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Interesting project indeed! I looked at the kit in my stash a few years ago, and wisely decided it could stay safely away! So many rivets.... What happened to the propeller? It can't have been a crash landing, otherwise the whole fuselage would have been shredded,,,, Those oldies can be anything, but they are always fun!!! Have a lot of it! JR
DennisTheBear Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Crashed on a reef in the Pacific maybe. Leaning drunkenly to one side with bits of seaweed hanging of it. 1
TonyTiger91 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 This is fun! Looking forward to seeing this develop Best regards Tony
Admiral Puff Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Somewhere I have some shots of some RAAF Catalinas being scrapped at Lake Boga - outer wings and engines off, etc. and generally looking sad. I'll see if I can find them and get back. 1
jimbob22 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 thanks for the comments guys hope to do you prowd 1
TonyTiger91 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Awww. Poor thing. I like the Admiral's idea of one being broken up by Lake Boga. Another idea; lean the aircraft to port. Then create a water based diorama where the port wing is submerged. It would have to be an emergency landing situation. Just an idea! Best regards Tony 1
perdu Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) It might be a good idea to ask Airfix if they have any of the bits you're missing Add some aftermarket (engines and cupolas here) and enjoy some fine model making I probably should add a WIP from that, it was really fun to do Edited August 2, 2016 by perdu 1
