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

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.

Looking good!! Last week I watched on utube the WWII flyover the Capital and included was a PBY. Great aircraft. Gary S. XLV MMXX
 
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.
