Airfix PBY-5A Catalina
I went down memory lane and thought I would build the Airfix Catalina again (last one I built, was back in 67. I was 14). I don't know why but I assumed that the kit might have been improved in the 40 odd years that have passed. Oh dear WRONG. It's showing its age. No detail on Cockpit or blisters to help with framing and the cockpit glass did not fit fuselage anyway. Moulded parts not aligning very well. But now it's done I'm smiling as although it has many faults regards the detailing it does look like a Catalina.
Another great job on a kit from an old, worn mould! And it is Duxford! BTW, hello and welcome - we appear to be form the same modelling era - the Old Farts Model Club!!
Nice model Catalina, but the photography is particularly excellant; not just the use of background but the correct scaling and particularly the lighting. I also thought I was looking at a photo of the real thing at first.
