PBY-5 IIA Catalina

I
bought this model in the early 1990's to use as a
reference when painting a FATE Magazine cover for Llewellyn
Publications.
The model was left gray for photography, and I created a totally
different color scheme of a particular aircraft for the magazine.
Then she sat around for several years waiting for me to get some
time on my hands. In 2000 I finally hauled her out and fined her.
She is painted in the markings of the aircraft that were hunting
the Bismark on that ship's final voyage. I had to do some special
research to get the antenna wires and masts accurate.
