Frigate Bird II

PB2B-2 Catalina VH-ASA, named Frigate Bird II is suspended from the ceiling of Sydney's excellent Powerhouse Museum. I believe there is a resin conversion set for a PB2B-2 Cat and decals available to model this historic aircraft.

Nice one Grant, I've not been to the Powerhouse though heard its pretty good, maybe need another trip to Sydney.   It must have been a real act getting that big old girl up there.

Cheers Steve. The Powerhouse Museum is great; there are a few airframes there. I'm putting an article together in the magazine about the aircraft some time... when I get round to it... After I've unpacked...
