Disaster with undercarridge was because I put in 45gr of lead. Model is quite heavy.
PS. I made paintwork. Suggested paints (following Red Roo Manual) was Dark Sea Grey and US Midnight Blue.
PS2.
@kalamazoo why the 5A version has flaps under the tail. You have them in the open position. I thought it was some element of mounting the launching wheels in the PBY5 model. This Foliage Green painting looks great! I have never seen such painting on Catalina. A24-29 Found on my new sheet of decals It is PBY-4, but engines looks as from PBY5 model (small silver hubs, and rectangular air intakes under engine nacells.) in bright painting. The manual suggested a complete painting in sky blue, but somehow I don't want to believe it, I would rather think about a white color like US Gloss White or Off White.
