Bought and built.  Pretty good kit and decals. a 4/5 in my book (The Tamiya P-38 is a 5). https://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mate.php?id=68750&p=completed 

What I didn't like was the instructions are really a page or two short, so there are few fiddly pieces left over that aren't for a future PBY5A (which is why we search the internet for pics), the "V" marking decals are incomplete,  I felt there were some issues with how the front turret gun and struts are attached.

These and some other things which I wrote up and submitted to WolfPack, along with a request to do the VP-63 MAD Cats :).

With cartograph decals, which are top notch and probably better than Academies, which tend to be thick IMO

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

It would appear the Wolfpack PBY kit is a re-box of the Academy 1/72 PBY kit.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Has anyone built the Wolfpack 1/72 PBY-5 Catalina? I'm not familiar with Wolfpack. Any build or fit issues?

Thanks,

Jay
