GiampieroSilvestri Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Beautiful Beriyev Catalina! Saluti Giampiero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 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. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Soviet beat the German in 1945 is cause of the US trucks.😉 Alain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
