I am building the Academy 1/72 PBY-2 and was trying to find any pics that showed what the waist guns looked like. This was prior to the waist blister window.
All I have is 4 or 5 photos for the PBY-1 waist positions. Don't know if there is a difference between the versions. I can post them is you'd like. If Lucky13 pops in, he would be the one to ask.
Thanks for the reply. But in this case, it's the wrong Catalina variant. the PBY-2 had rectangular hatches that could be opened to use the waist guns.
I can't get to it right now for some reason, but this pic shows what it looks like. http://pby.org/WebPages.nsf/Photos+PBY-2/0454.01
I see. Just posted to show the PBY-5 variant. As far as your PBY-2 is concerned... the variant of Catalina was almost the same inside comparing to the PBY-1. So I think the MG mount for the PBY-2 was the same too.
