About product

Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina 1:48 — Eduard (Limited Edition)

Model of the American amphibious flying boat PBY-5A Catalina in 1:48 scale as an Eduard Limited Edition, built on Revell plastic and supplemented with color photo-etched parts, painting masks and resin parts (wheels, exhausts, antennas); decals for five color schemes.

The real subject

The PBY Catalina was one of the most widespread patrol and rescue flying boats of the Second World War, powered by Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines. Thanks to its retractable landing gear the amphibious PBY-5A version operated from water and from land; it became famous for maritime patrols, anti-submarine work and search and rescue missions, in which it was known as the Dumbo. Machines in USAAF colors carried the designation OA-10A.

Building and painting tips

Build the model in subassemblies and test the fit of the parts dry before gluing. Paint the cockpit and the interior and bring them out with a wash before closing the fuselage. For the best result use a quality liquid polystyrene cement, fine files and, after the primer coat, an airbrush. Apply the decals onto a gloss varnish and seal them with a flat one.

  • Modelers experienced in building plastic kits
  • Collectors of Second World War aircraft
  • Enthusiasts of aviation history

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
