JWM Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hi, Some time ago I have bought Broplan conversion set to PBY6A and I had in stash PBY5A by Academy. But I realized, that the more interesting is other variant. I wrote to Broplan and the owner send me parts for hull, what made me possible do model of the the most distiguishable variant of Catalina - the Naval Factory PBN-1 Nomad. I apprecieted very much this possibility. I documented my buiild in WIP thread sorry if not in very details. The Academy kit is fameous for its "said to be" too small diameter of cowlings. So I increased it to 18 mm (details in WIP thread). Majority of Nomads went to Soviet Union. Mine is one of machines from Pacific Flot, used in operations aginst Japan in August 1945 Decals by Techmod (stars) and Begemot ("29" are from Pe-2 set). Since in my stash I had PBY5A (and more proper would be PBY5) the beech u/c is scratch build with help of silicon/resin copying. Here she is : Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited June 17, 2019 by JWM mispelling corrections 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without your valuable and great help in photos and article it would not go that nice for sure! BTW - Imagine, that yesterday and today I've seen Catalina in air - the Duxford one is now on an air show in Krakow! Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
