    After removing the masks, the side blisters probably looked the worst. There were some minor imperfections there (glue marking and scratches), some of which were due to the repairs I had to make.

    Look at Catalina 24-30 (close to A24-29 and one of two PBY-4). It is not NMF. Insygnia White or Off White?
