Hello All,
This model was built by me couple of years ago.This monogram kit's detail is awesome. Since I am slowly getting into 1/48 scale from 1/72 I am enjoying the level of details you can actually do with out losing your mind. I found this kit to be an excellent kit with very nice panel line details. Built OOB.Took me couple of weeks to build. The wing is hugeeee. Almost 25 inches in length. Be warned that it is gonna need SOME space. Also the decals were a nightmare, maybe because this was a very old kit and it must have been sitting in somebdy's shelf for many many years. Picked it up at a swap meet. You can tell by the stale cardboard smell of the box. Used Modelmaster, Green zinc chromate primer, US Navy blue grey, falt white.The figures were painted with cheap acrylic paints from Walmart. Used several coats of future and a final flat coat. Very happy with the end result. But have to handle the aircraft with care as there are several antennas sticking out. I originally wanted to display it water , but realized how big the kit was and abandoned that idea.
Hope you all like it






Thanks
Vivek

Hi Vivek

That really is a beauty! I've got a couple of versions stashed away - I never built them to begin with because I simply didn't have the space. Your great build is a reminder of just how impressive the kit is.

All the best

Beautiful work Vivek.

Super build. PBY's have always been a personal favorite of mine. Nicely painted and weathered with that used but not abused look.

kudos for getting a large kit done so nicely!

That's really a nice work, Vivek! I can imagine how big the Cat is as I've seen it in real 2 years agao at an airshow here. Though the PBY is still one of the kits missing in my stash.
Well done!

Happy modelling!

Thanks everybody. I think the wing span is around 2 feet .It takes lot of shelf space.
