I forgot to add this build to Dave's Emergency Rescue in the Completed G.B. section. So, sorry for having to post the model again. (Different pickies though)
First off, thanks again to Dave (gern) for his invaluable help with the paint scheme for this aircraft.
A most excellent kit with nearly first time fit for most of the parts.
The kit started off life as the Famous WW2 'Black Cat' PBY-5. With Dave's help, I re-painted the aircraft in peace time Search and Rescue colours.
I modified it a bit with bits from my spares box and some plastic card. Not all 100% accurate, but near enough for me.![Tongue Out3 :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:](/smiles/Tongue_Out3.png)
All brush painted in Vallejo Model Air, and the 'USAF', 'Rescue' and 312 colour panels hand painted. I don't use masking tape, but follow the panel or rivet lines with my brush.
