Nice work, Capt. That’s a solid kit that can be modified into a whole slew of interesting planes. I built a Canadian Canso from it last year.

A wonderful entry, Bernard @lis
Your start is already impressive.

A little mistake which for sure you are able to correct nicely, Bernard @lis
Sometimes this happens if we get too excited to make progress.

A perfect and good looking solution, Bernard @lis
The interior looks fine as well.
Great location for the balancing weight.

It is my first seaplane George. @gblair I read about very long range flight of Catalonia from India to Australia and this inspired me to make model with diorama. At this build I will not build seaplane on water but I read about how make it realistic and mabye next seaplane will be on water. Because of this fact my Catalina has open main gear and close floats on wing tips.

PS. Waist Brownings are ready. Also 30 cal front Browning. This gun has very complex in build because I used only piece of styrene as main part of weapon, then I glued left and right PE plate of gun, brass barrel, viewsight, ammo box, and ammo cartridge box. PE fun butt has pieces of brass wire. All painted on Matt black and wood. lever of the upper desktop under canopy glass are also extra PE parts

Great idea for the diorama, Bernard @lis
Those machine guns do look great.

Great masking, Bernard @lis
