knuckledragger Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Ahoy Here is another one I just finished this is the old balsa kit of the Guillows PBY Catalina flyingboat, all balsa kit this is a huge beast with a wingspread of 50 inch,s anyone who builds this must have room or you will end up knocking things down. The model is done up in the Atlantic color schedule serving in the French Morroco 1944. Some how I like the all white with dark gull gray better then the blues,I made the wingfloats opperable the kit designed as optional up or down so i have to have both worlds. Here is the mighty Dumbo. Boats Edited May 13, 2012 by knuckledragger leoasman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
