She is a mean looking machine in black.

Allan, I almost missed (getting old!) that this one is a -4, with the sliding hatches, not the "bubbles" from the -5 on.
That is a different scheme, as well.
Just a unique Catalina all around. Thanks for posting it Just a beaut!

Thanks Bernard.

Thanks George, I do have one more but not for the group build.

I just went back and looked at all three of your Catalina builds. Very impressive I say.
The real plane is really quite large, (as are the built up models).
I remember building a Revell 1/72 "Black Cat" as a child. Now I have two of the 1/48 sized Monogram kits to build someday. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Thanks Louis, share and enjoy !
