Thank You John, very interesting. I never would have thought of that.

They are fabric areas that have zippers in them to allow access for inspection of the interior of the wing.

Does anyone know what the little white V symbols are on the top wing of a PBY Catalina?

 

If you Google Revell PBY Catalina modeling madness, then go to images you can see an example in one of the photos.

 

 

It might help if you were to actually post or link the photo yourself instead of asking the forum members to look for the image themselves.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know what the little white V symbols are on the top wing of a PBY Catalina?

I'm nearly done with my Revell 1/48 version and I can't find what these are.

If you Google Revell PBY Catalina modeling madness, then go to images you can see an example in one of the photos.

Thanks
