PBY 1/48 in flight...over the bar

September 27, 2023 · in Aviation · · 12 · 340

This is the venerable Revell-Monogram 1/48 PBY-5 kit. A very nice kit from 1995. The tooling & fit is great for this era and the size of this built up is rather large and impressive! Hats off to the moldings! ALl Ia dded was a few crew figures and employed Prop Blur for an 'in flight' display. I solved my dwindling real estate display problem by hanging this one over my bar.

Thanks

Steve,

  1. Very cool looking cat ! You did a very nice job on this model.

  2. Well done. Built the amphibian version a few years ago and it is also a dangler

  3. Looks cool up there! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Great job on that classic! ๐Ÿ‘

  4. Cool Cat, and nice job on the figures! Yup, hanging those biggies from the ceiling solves some real estate problems.

  5. A nice way to display some of your models, hang them over the bar! Good stuff.

  6. Amazing Catalina, Steven @sjcorvi
    Let's hope it will not be captured by that large sharkmouth.

  7. Very nice work @sjcorvi. Good inspiration. I have one I am going to finally use the decals I've been keeping to do the Catalina I that found the Bismarck.

  8. Superbly done, Steven!

  9. Great model, mineโ€™s a pint of best bitter.

  10. that's a great-looking Cat, and I always prefer seeing them in-flight! Great work.

  11. Thanks everyone IT really is a nice build and more should be built!.

    I know they are a bit awkward and big once built up! Hope to see some of yours in the future!

  12. Have only just seen this, what a great job together with the way you have displayed it, very impressive. I hope you were able to save the downed flier from megamouth, although a megamouth surely would have morphed out of a great white not a tiger shark.
