Nice info amigo. Hey here's a thought. I'm building a PB4Y and a PBM5 for the war in the Pacific GB. You Argies are screwed, LOL, but I'd like to invite you to join the build because you have a flavor for the unusual. Think about subject matter. Bill

 Thanks a lot for the invitation Bill! but I haven´t another PBY kit, I was thinking to build the shark mouth scheme but in the future...

I will recive a 1/48 Grumman goose the next month... maybe I can build one of those, but it will be in an Argentinian antartic scheme. any country used the goose in the pacific teather?

best regards!

In the future if I get another PBY kit I will do this scheme, I have the decals for this one...   best regards to all  Jeremias Don't tease us like that!! What's the story behind the photo?

lol the picture is just from a 1951 exercise.. This Catalina 2-P-6 was the only one in Argentinian navy (and for the pictures I saw so far maybe in the world)with such splendid shark mouth... I have the decals to make this version,I only need a kit now... LOL

I almost forgot, this palne was used for RATO test by the Armada, when the plane still wa in Canada

Jeremias, this is another stunner to add to your amazing collection. I love the colour scheme of this one. You wouldnt miss this one coming.

Fantastic, my friend.

Thanks a lot for the coments guys! glaad you like it...

Bondo: yes is the Antartic LOL my head was thinking (early) in Santa and the bunch of models for this christmas lol.

you know I forgot to tell but the Argentinian Catalinas were the first aircrafts in unite the continent with the antartic.

thanks so much for the info on the landing gear doors, I din´t notice that, but lucky me are easy to fix.

Regards!

Jeremiahs thats a great model. I like the faded look, and it sure looks the part of a '50s arctic (antarctic?) plane. That guy on the crapper is funny.

One point- the nose gear doors on -5As kind of translated up the side of the hull, but stayed flat to it, rather than swing down. Take a look at these pics.

Beautiful model, amigo.

Nicely done.

It put's mine to shame.

And yes guy's I'm still working on them.
