Hello everyone, here is my lastest build, a 1/48 PBY Catalina of RAF 209 Squadron. This kit was a pleasure to work with
and there was no real problems as the fit was good, I had to fill and sand here and there but overall a good kit. I started this on
Christmas 2014 and have been working on and off on the cat all year and I finally finished it in October 2015. :) I used Vallejo, Humbrol and Tamiya paints on the PBY and gave it many gloss varnish coats then just as many for the matt varnish. :) I used artist oils and pastels to give it a light weathering look.

They only thing
I had to correct was the serial lettering as the decals were black when they should of been white so
I had to paint the lettering on this bird. To finish it all off I added a pilot and used good old EZline for the aerial wiring.
