The Officially Shameless PBY/Halloween '09 GB

GO MAN GO!! Come to the light! Beers for all! Cats rule. First we get ta drinkin' then we get's ta dancin, then we gets to makin friendly with the natives.

Bosun Bondo

Here she is in all her multi-color glory. This one fought me from the beginning to the end. As I was telling my son today she is a 3 footer. That is she looks good from 3 feet. I have to watch the main landing gear, I had to put so much weight in her to get her to stand up the gear want to collaspe on me. I have glued it twice today. One thing more I did not realize how big a PBY is!   So enjoy.

Comments welcome

Let me be the first one to buy you a drink, Airman!

That is a beautiful model, and well done to see it through. She likes a man that never quits on a project!

Now, accordin' ta the Bosun, let's get ta dancin and drinkin and swearin and lovin!!

Well done sir. The paint is spot on, and with a week to spare no less.

Bondoman,

This is one GB that I have really enjoyed. The thread was blast to read and the PBYs were amazing. I had a heck of time getting this one done. Now I am off to look for the drink wench and get through my son's wedding this weekend. I have a feeling that I will look a little like the second picture by Sunday morning. Let me be the first to raise a glass of torpedo juice and salute everyone who participated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I love this hobby

MKelly - You did a Stellar job on your PBY. I really like the way the color combo turned out. Looks like you really got the upper hand in the battle. That is one big kit. Are you going to hang it from the ceiling ? Thanks for posting. 

I had forgotten all about my 1/72 pby tucked back waiting for paint.
