                        PBY Catalina, Atlantic Squadrons paint scheme.

                        Does anyone know where I can find a 3-view picture of a WWII PBY Catalina in the paint scheme of an atlantic squadron? While the Pacific PBY's were usually painted blue and white, the Atlantic PBY's were painted a two-tone grey and white. I only have a picture that shows the side the aircraft in the Atlantic scheme, but the picure doesn't tell me anything about what the top of the wing looked like.

                        Thank You,

                        DJ

                        DJ,
                        There is good news.Smile [:)] Aeromaster makes a decal set (#48325) that includes a representative from VPB-63, the MAD CAT Squadron, which carries your paint scheme.Big Smile [:D] I have one of their other sets, and they give full views of the aircraft. Hope this helps.

                        Check page 34 of The PBY Catalina in Action - there is a good in-flight picture of one of VP-63 Cats in the Atlantic scheme - the scheme is Dark Gull Gray uppers, Light Gull Gray sides w/white lower surfaces - apparently the same as the blue scheme but substituting grays
