Yep, looking sweet!

Another Cat' lover here - 3 Academy 1:72 kits: PBY-4, PBY-5, and PBY-5A Black Cat (have an Airfix PBY-5A Black Cat back in NZ too)

The PBY-5 will be an RNZAF PBY-5 or PB2B-1 in one of two paint schemes used. The -4 and -5A will be chopped at the same point just behind the wing mount and forward fueslages swapped.
The -4 nose and -5A tail will become either an RNZAF bird in the version and scheme not previously made, or an RAF Coastal Command No.490 (NZ) sqn. Catalina Mk.Ib (US equiv. PBY-5)
The -5A nose and -4 tail will become the prototype PBY-5A (Bu. 1245) - a stock PBY-4 with retractable undercarriage fitted.
