morty_3333 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Hi there! This is My interpretation of the Super Catalina 'Tanker 53' from the Movie 'Always' Build log can be found here:- Items used:- Revell 1/48 PBY-5A Catalina Kit No; 04507 Italeri 1/48 B25 Mitchell Kit no; 2650 (Donor for engine cowlings and intakes) Brassin 648 192 resin wheels Quickboost 48 554 Engines Scale Aircraft conversions replacement U/C 48068 Belcher Bits Corrected Catalina Tail Draw Decals Catalina Fire Bomber set Paint used:- Tamiya acrylics Alclad filler primer Windsor & Newton Oil Paints thinned with Zippo lighter fluid Mig Pigments (Soot) I found this a great kit to build with no major problems,fits are good,no flash to speak off and good surface detail. I've got a Invader in the stash & decals to build the companion for this! Thanks for looking in! Keep Sticking!

John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That is super! What fun! I love that film and you have done it proud with this very original build. I think there should be more Film Birds built...like the Bristol on skies used in the Lee Marvin/Charles Bronson film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Superb! Was that Richard Dreyfuss film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 great work, something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yes...Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, John Goodman and, I think, Audrey Hepburn's final role. It is a remake of a 1943 film called 'A Guy Named Joe'---also a wonderful cameo by the musician and songwriter J.D. Souther playing "Smoke Get's In My Eyes". Plus cool birds.
