In 1:48 this is a large model (that parasol wing is HUGE), so 1:72 is probably more manageable and as can be seen here, still has plenty of impact.

Thanks Rob, yes still quite big in 1/72, where would you put several in 1/48?

Nice job, Allan…I have MY PBY hanging from the ceiling. 🙂

Nice job John, very impressive build. How was the parts fit on this kit? Any issues?
Allan J Withers said on November 14, 2016
Thanks Tom, everything fits OK, the only faults that I know of are the frames on the blisters and the control yoke, Allan.

Beautiful, John! What do you use for foliage green from The MM range? I use Humbril #149.

Nice job Allan. I have one unbuilt it looks like a nice kit apart from the kit decals which are pretty poor.
Allan J Withers said on November 14, 2016
Thanks Anthony, yes not much to the kit decals, I only used the instrument panel, should be plenty of after market decals.
