tonyot Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Hiya Folks,..... I`ve got the decals on now,........ Flickr have just informed me too that my account will be frozen on the 8th January unless I agree to pay to use it,...... so I`ll be needing another dowload site if anybody knows one? Seems they are doing a Photobucket on us! PBY-5; The roundels on the upper wings of the PBY-5 will later be toned down using EDSG to cover the white! PBY-4; Strange that I should finally get some decent daylight for photos on the Winter Solstace,..... the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere,....... our friends `Down Under' are enjoying their longest day of the year.

Grey Beema Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Nice Cat Tony. It is coming on really well. I might even consider digging out the Airfix Catalina from the bottom of the stash and see what I can do with it.... As for the flickr thing - is there a 1000 picture limit, if your photo count does not have more than that it is free? Potentially any other flickr account that you may have, that could have a different email address may have the same limitation for free picture storage (if you catch my drift)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris, Yes it is a 1,000 pic limit,..... I`ve been deleting old pics from old posts but yeah I was thinking along the same lines bout other e mail addresses. All the best bud and have a nice Crimbo, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 They look superb Tony love the scheme's.I'm seriously tempted tobuy another of these for a white Coastal Command aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Cheers Steve,..... yeah go for it mate,....... I`ll be making one myself soon! Here is another update,..... done a bit more weathering, added the wings and struts and starting on the antennae etc,...... the only thing is,.... I`ve misplaced a wing float since the last photos,....... hopefully it will turn up somewhere! Some detail painting still required; PBY-5,...... now I know that the reference photo shows this aircraft to be fitted with the early style nose turret,.... but there wasn`t one in my kit which was bought second hand,.... and as it is often depicted as having the later style turret I am going with the fact that after it as repaired following the landing accident it had the newer 2 gun turret retrofitted!; PBY-4; Cheers, Tony Edited December 23, 2018 by tonyot 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi Tony, They're looking great. Interesting camouflage scheme, and the weathering is bringing them to life. People really are kicking on in this GB... Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Hiya Folks,........ Well I` calling them finished!! A massive thanks to my mate and RAAF colours and markings expert Syd in Australia for acting as a sounding board for my colour quandries and queries,.... just glad that we were basically singing from the same song sheet as he confirmed thoughts that I first thought might be outlandish and made them sound like common sense,..... so cheers mate!! The photos have highlighted poor seams at the wing tip`s so I may have a go at sorting these out,..... either by saning and filling or adding a plasticard skin? , PBY-5; PBY-4; So that`s it,..... thanks for all of the support along the way, Cheers Tony.
