Hey Gents, My interest in joining up in your GB has grown immensely. I have some choice candidates but, I have one in particular. You see, I have one single model in my large stash that I desparately wish to build. It is the Pro Modeler/Monogram 1/48 PBY-1A Catalina. This has been in my stash for years. In the 7 yrs. I've been back to modeling I have been purposely honing my skills to where I'd feel comfortable tackling this critter. My father flew the PBY during the war as a flight instructor and he loved that plane. When this kit came out I bought it excitedly to build for my dad at some point. Unfortunately, my father passed away suddenly before I was ever able to build it. I feel that this the opportunity to pull it down and get with it. I am faced with a glaring issue; where in the world am I going to display this huge model? This may require negotiations with "She who holds all power" as to acquire space in the living area. Lol. My other trepidation I have is that I'm not blessed with copious amounts of bench time and I fear that it may take me more than a year to build as this is not an OOB build. So, in short, I'm hoping.
In the event the PBY project does not seem feasible at this time, I also have a Revell (Matchbox repop) 1/72 Heinkel He 115 w/AM goodies than I'm anxious to build.
