Floatplane/Seaplane Group Build 2012

Hi everyone, Thought you might like to see my Black Cat PBY Catalina night fighter. I wish I could've joined your GB with my build.

Ken

Nice-looking aircraft.  What's the scale on that?  It looks pretty big.

I see on the first page of the thread that Ordie extended the GB till 31 January, 2013, so it looks like you could still be "in."

It was built in 2011, I was going to ask until I looked it up on Hunting After Dark GB. So I did it before this GB ever got startd

it's 1 48 scale; They were/are big planes. They have a wing span of 104 feet. The jeep is the same scale.

Thanks

That Black Cat looks terrific Ken. I have one somewhere, I should dig it out and build the darn thing!

Cheers

Tony

Thanks Tax, it was a fun build, not really any problems

That's a beautiful catalina!  I recently bought an old Minicraft Catalina model.  hopefully I can get to it soon after I finish the R3C2.

The R3C2 looks great Phil.

love the Titanic I want the 100th aniversary minicraft has. don't know when that'll happen though.

Thanks.  I tend to overstash on models, LOL.

Hi Ordie,

The revised deadline (31 Jan) has passed, and I still haven't finished :(

Any chance of a revised revised deadline ? I think I've worked out how I can make my Wildcatfish work.

If the deadline holds, then I've missed out and apologise for not completing my model.

Cheers

Tony

I missed it too.  I had some painting problems trying to replicate the brass sheeting on the wings, I think I have it worked out.  i expect to finish next weekend, I'll post pictures when I do.
