Out2gtcha Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Very cool! I love the look of heavy chipping and blue and yellow together. Is OV-10A a designation for the Catalina too? I always thought it was strictly a PBY and the OV-10A was for the Bronco. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thank you my friends Brian I also like this combination of navy colors and heavy weathering and yes there is a type-write mistake by my self - it's OA-10A and I've just fix it Thank you once again Brian Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Ha ha ha thanks friends. Continue with assembling the main wing. Well as you can see it's not a 32 scale, but still it's a big piece of plastic. And opened space for left engine - it will be uncovered and we will see the great resin R-1830 PW engine Cheers friends chukw, MikeC, F`s are my favs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 So far so good. Didn't WWII Naval aircraft have folded wings? Sincerely, Mark ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT500 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi Mark, maybe have, maybe didn't I don't know for fly-boats. Here our Catalina is USAF version for rescue operations from post-war period 1948 Cheers my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Flying boats did not have folding wings, I was making a joke. Cheers! Sincerely, Mark ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Great looking subject. I've never seen the USAF markings so that'll make a nice change. If you're interested, Belcher Bits make a corrected tail section for the kit. Carl ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigant Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking forward to it Chavdar! The questions I have are: How do you intend to do the special yellow rescue markings, especially that big number underneith? Are you going to do the amount of frozen condensation (frost) on the fuselage as shown in the photo? Seeing how clear the waist blisters are, it is obvious they really polished the glass on that bird! Lessee, how does the routine go, "Check the tires and oil, and clean the windshield"...?

ShelbyGT500 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thank you Carl I'm still waiting for the rest of AM Hi Gigant, well for the numbers I've got a decals from the kit and it's a brand new - from 2014 For the rest - masking, painting with yellow paint, weathering, etc. For the second question - at first I thought like you, that this is a frozen condensation, BUT if you look very carefully the belly numbers - the big once, the right float at the wing and right engine flaps you will see the missing paint and I thing this is an ordinary chipping paint, and the picture was taken just before re-newing and repainting the real birdy.
