[Vic Balshaw]

If I can ever lay my hands on a 1/48 scale, I'll do all that internal detail and show it for it is well worth the effort.

 

[A4K]

Be worth it Vic.

Good one Evan.

 

[A4K]

Cheers Andy. Optimistic, I know.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[A4K]

Cheers Hugh.

Couldn't resist. Port wing tip glued up.
Apart from that, spent a couple of hours scouring the net for interior pics.

I've a couple of references for you Evan. Not blowing my own trumpet but check out my GB8 Catalina and German IPSM link that I used during my build. Hope they help.

Cheers Vic! I was tryig to remember which build you did yours in, turned out great.
Love that IPMS one too. So much detail, yet much of it invisible one she's buttoned up!

That is why I want to do another one and leave much of one side open.

Great idea. Did you see this model? (1:32 scale) HPH Models 1/32 PBY-5A Catalina (Cutaway)

[Vic Balshaw]

Wow, that's a doozy Evan and bookmarked. Thanks.

 

[A4K]

No worries mate. HPM too, so postage within Oz shouldn't be too bad for you
I'm a 1:72 man, but this is one kit that would tempt me to do something bigger...

 

[A4K]

Making wings tonight, by the way

Buffalo or honey-garlic?

 

[A4K]

I'd take either!

 

[Crimea_River]

Buffalo are my fave. Good with beer.

 

[A4K]

Sounds good to me. See you at 6
