                        Hey Everybody!
                        I know a lot of us out there have Revell-Monogram's 1/48 PBY Catalina, and that there are many different details sets, so that you could build almost any version of the Catalina.Smile [:)] I mean there are two or three interior set, and upgrade sets, and various conversions, but there are no vacuformed canopy detail sets.[:0] After all, there are sets for B-17s and B-24s, and a whole myriad of aircraft, but none for the PBY. Angry [:(!]. I for one would like to see one made with are replacement for the eyeball turret, with a separate bubble so I could position the machine gun. Anybody else interested?Question [?] Maybe, if enough of us are interested, Squadron will see this and make a set.Sleepy [|)]

                        Oh, yeah, I'd take two or three of each. Especially the eyeball turret and a set of vac formed fuselage gunners blisters.

                        Hey Everybody!
                        Thanks for the responses. Let's write the various companies that make this, and encourage more modelers to rally to this. I know that there are a lot of modelers that working on this aircraft, and who knows? there are probably more that are interested in a set, just waiting for it to be produced. I am sure that enough people show interest in this we will see a set made.
