Hi,
I don't want to paint my Catalina plain black or white or silver and yellow. Are there any other colours that i can choose from that were in world war 2. Also are there any pics of Catalinas that i can see.
Thanks, Tom.

Did mine as a tri-color "whale" from one of the profiles in Squadron's PBY in Action book.




Hope these help some ?

Tom

Try the War Memorial website - something like awm.gov.au, they have heaps of photos.

Otherwise just google and you will be inundated.

Research is so much fun that moder making can interrupt the good time being had. :-)
