GST. A Soviet made Catalina. One of the Part 2 of my collection


Recommended Posts

The Russian liveried Catalina looks great.  Thanks for giving me a better view of it.  The Cat is a favorite plane of mine.  At some point, I am going to start a build of the Revell 1/48 kit as a Black Cat.  I really like yours.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Is it a conversion set or scratch work? GST had Soviet copies of Wright Cyclone nine cylinders radials. Some  had the Polikarpov style keyston shape openings on partially blinden front of cowling.. sometime I think  should do GST :)

Very nice GST! That's not an aeroplane you see built-up very often. In addition to the licence-built GSTs, the Soviets also had Lend-Lease Catalinas from America.

Well it is the Academy kit with just a spiner for the propeler and a Skas MG from Aeroclub.

Thank you, and yes, you are right. about lend lease.

If the Soviet beat the German in 1945 is cause of the US trucks.😉

Thank you for sharing. I was not aware of the Soviet version before I saw the pictures of your model.
