Onezonedrone Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I have an old revell 1:48 scale PBY Catalina kit number 04520 from the mid 90s. I built it as a kid and I've decided to strip the paint dismantle it and start again using same method I used in a tamyia chieftain model Does anyone know if there are any after market photo etch or resin parts for this model? I'm also missing a couple of bits such a some clear canopies. Any ideas if these parts can be sourced aftermarket? .

RJP Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Belcher Bits has some useful stuff. This is their home page, specific links on the left. One of the conversions is for the earlier variants without the blisters. http://www.belcherbits.com/index.htm Also, note the Revell/Monogram kit has a tail that is just too wide and Belcher also has a tail piece available to fix that. Vector make R-1830 engines that might be useful too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hannants list Eduard etch sets and 2 alternative resin engine sets. True Details do a resin cockpit As the guys have said Belcher Bits do excellent resin and a new tail does improve the look though that might not bother you too much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
