PBY-5A Catalina, Golden Pelican from VP-44

[sharkman]

These cats are known tail sitters so I added a fair bit of weight to try and rectify this. No where else to really put it, I'm going to have the nose open so could't hide any up there.

And fuselage back together

Test fit of the wing

Will superglue the torpedo together.

Getting rid of the molded cleats and hand grabs on the nose

and started on the Quickboost engines. will add wires to these next.

and filled some seams. Sanding up next!

This Catalina is coming along nicely Warren! The rework and new engines I am sure will add to it nicely.

Good work Warren, we have one in the UK at Duxford that does most of the UK airshows and is always a crowd pleaser

Thanks guys!

I'm either going to get back to sanding this one and the BV 222 tomorrow or do some more work on the DeLorean.
