PBY Model by Revell - Monogram (1 Viewer)

[Robert Porter]

As a kid I remember building a kit of some version of the PBY, as I recall the floats on the wing tips moved to both the up and down positions. I have not seen this kit since the 70's. Does anyone else remember it? Am I correct that is was a Revell kit? Has anyone heard if it will be reissued anytime soon?

Are you talking 1/48, Robert? If so, they are around. I built one here...**** DONE: 1/48 PBY-5A - Seaplanes / Floatplanes of WWII and a far superior one by Vic here... **** DONE: 1/48 PBY-5A - Seaplanes / Floatplanes of WWII | WW2Aircraft.net Forums both of them Revell though they are also under the Monogram name as well

Both great builds! And yes thats the model I remember. It does not appear in Revell's current catalog, at least not that I could find so I suppose its off to the Wild Wooly Web and eBay!
