Thanks for having a realistic build video where you share the mistakes and problems encountered and the time to fix them. Half of modeling is us trying to fix our oopsies....😁
This kit is nice because it was a Monogram kit. If you want to get a really nice view of a real Catalina make a trip to the Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola,Fla. they have a completely restored fuselage that’s completely cut away. There’s no detail that’s missed. You’ll be amazed,and it’s sitting next to another Catalina with the wings on it,and all inside the museum.
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379 the north Florida coast is nice,but that area gets hurricanes once in a while. Warm weather if it is really humid. I grew up in Clearwater on the Tampa Bay Area.
Even with the mistakes, great build. We all learn from mistakes. Or trial and error. After 54+ years of modeling. Im still happy to learn all i can. Model building has changed so much from when I first started. I make mistakes as well. Just from trying different weathering techniques. You still had a great build. Thanks for sharing
That was worth the wait to watch. I remember you telling me about it. It's not the mistakes we make, just like in life, it's how we recover from them. Nothing is permanent in model building. We can fix all of them. 2 ft. of wingspan, huh? 1st time I saw this kit a Buddy and myself unboxed one in a Nissan/Dodge something or other. For those that don't know, this kit box is bigger than an extra large pizza box. We wound up getting out of the car with parts and sprue trees all over the place. Modeling at its finest. You did a good job on it Hoss. You don't see many built. What's next?
Thanks ut did turn out great! Up next is some 2023 tamiya kits that I as a modeler haven't gotten too and I finally can. So I'm building the ME 262 with the Kettenkraftrad as a diorama. So you'll see the diorama segmented out with the different parts bits and figures. I hope you enjoy those too! Model on!!
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 2 July, 2024) UPDATED I quite appreciate your enthusiasm in model-building; it and your imagination in trying new ideas, techniques, etc. (though I was rather more cautious) somewhat remind me of myself. Tell us more broadly of your modelling interests, please. Years past, I had the original version of this kit: the Revell Monogram 1:48th-scale Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina U.S. Navy Patrol Bomber Amphibious Seaplane. I also had Revell’s 1:48th-scale kit of the Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina USN Patrol Bomber Seaplane. I cannot recall which I had acquired first. I sentimentally had preferred the pure seaplane version. The distinction between the PBY-5 and the PBY-5A is subtle in print (though visually, it is easier): beneath the 31.6992 metre [104 ft] wide parasol wing of the Army’s OA-10A and the Navy’s PBY-5A, one can see set into each side of the fuselage a rather prominent wheel. The PBY-5, an earlier variant, is a pure seaplane, capable only to set upon and to take off from the water, whereas the PBY-5A is an amphibious seaplane, its landing gear housed in watertight wheel bays, for it to taxi onto land from the shore (and returning to the sea). The kit under discussion here, Consolidated’s OA-10A Catalina USAAF Amphibious Seaplane, is the U.S. Army’s version of the U.S. Navy’s PBY-5A Amphibious Seaplane. The aircraft manufacturer had become so busy with the great demand for its B-24 Heavy Bombers that the War Department contracted the Naval Aircraft Factory to produce more of the seaplane, as well, which received the designation and name, “PBN-1 Nomad”. I understand these had significant modifications to Consolidated’s original PBY design (though as of this writing, I have yet to learn what these were). One would have to incorporate these changes into a reproduction of the aircraft for it to be accurate. I need a clarification: you note at 1:09 that some of the photo-etched detail sets may be for the Academy kit. Theirs is in 1:72nd-scale (as are the Airfix and an old Revell kits). As far as I know (I have looked!), only Revell Monogram make a 1:48th-scale PBY-5/5A Catalina USN/RAF/RCAF/RAAF Patrol Bomber Amphibious Seaplane kit. In enquiring online just now, all references to “Academy” and “Consolidated PBY-5/5A Catalina” show exclusively 1:72nd-scale, confirming my assessment. Similarly, the photo-etched detail sets for any PBY-5/5A Catalina kits of which I know are in 1:48th-scale. I know of none in 1:72nd-scale (Atlantis recently recast Aurora’s old box scale kit, in round 1:110th-scale), though my wherewithal of any of that would be limited (in any case, such sets hardly would be interchangeable.) An issue that may be of interest to you is that in my digging online, I saw listings in several e-retailers of two Academy 1:72nd-scale kits of Consolidated’s PBY-2 and PBY-4 Catalina Seaplanes (years past had I also had read in a retailer’s catalogue listing of an Academy PBY-3 kit); and a Revell 1:48th-scale Consolidated’s PBY-5 Catalina Seaplane kit; all made replicas-though in different scales-representing earlier variants prior to the aircraft manufacturer incorporating into the fuselage the tricycle undercarriage of what the War Department would designate the PBY-5A. Years ago, a Canadian aftermarket detail/conversion set maker created a set enabling a model-builder to re-make the Revell Monogram 1:48th-scale PBY-5A kit into a PBY-6A. As I recall, only the Canadian navy had deployed this variant: a documentary reference from a current pilot and part-owner of a PBY-5A RAF æroplane that during the Second World War, whilst stationed in western Scotland, had patrolled the North Atlantic to look after the convoys of cargo shipment from the eastern USA and Canada; he mentioned that his aircraft’s manufacturer was Canadian Vickers, which continued production well after the war with its G-PBYA Canso RCAF amphibious seaplane, which included a taller vertical stabiliser, more powerful engines, etc. Similar aircraft intrigue me to the extent that I would like to build a 1:72nd-scale kit of each: Consolidated PB2Y Coronado USN antisubmarine/medical-hospital plane/ transport/patrol bomber flying boat Consolidated XPB3Y: a prototype of an extended version of the above Consolidated XP4Y Corregidor transport (and a twin-engine predecessor of the same firm’s B-24 series) PB4Y-1: Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator USN/RAF Convoy Patrol Bomber; the U.S. Navy’s version of the B-24 Bomber (twin vertical stabiliser) PB4Y-2: Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer USN/RAF Convoy Patrol Bomber (single vertical stabiliser).
Excellent build. Would luv to build one but wouldn't have room for it! Have to agree with other comments about the music. Your commentary is more than good enough. Keep up the good work
I wish there were more options for this. My Great Uncle was a flight engineer on one during WW2 as part of the 1st Emergency Rescue Squadron and I look for a well-detailed kit to do a tribute. Amazing aircraft used for some amazing work.
That looks fantastic! Awesome job! I built this kit 20 years ago, straight out of the box, I never put any extra details into it. And you did and yours look great!
Great job! If I try building this I’ll keep the weakness of the landing gear in mind, and either go the after market replacement or MAYBE create my own landing gear struts with tube stock aluminum? Thanks for all the extra hints in this video!!
Thanks!! I just try my best with the older ones lol but they are nostalgic builds so I just make what they have work haha. Anyways thanks for watching model on!
You push me towards my ACADAMY PBY 1/48 model waiting to be built for the last 7 years :), nice build. Try using soldering wire they come in different gauge and very easy to work.
Hello mr resmo.thats a nice boxart.very nice build.your work is a shiny beacon in the modelling world.its nuce watching your workflow.thank u 4your efforts.i truly appreciate them.thank u 4 delivering fun,excitenes,and,Inspiration,and, knowledge.i would like to give more than 1thumb up.but I cant.thats a pain in the ass.thank you for sharing.with best regards and sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.yours truly.your modellmate.christian
You also mention another 48 PBY but as far as I know Monogram which is now owned by revell is the only 48th PBY kit made? The kits been released in several schemes over the yrs even a promodeler black cat version. So you will see the kit with a Monogram, Promodeler and the revell label but its all the same mold.
Maybe for control surface detail maybe you could put some copper wire down to make the airframe visible, in terms of detail, and maybe place some fabric on it. I’ve done it on a few of my later models like my B-24, F4F-3, etc. It turned out well, maybe you should try it.
As someone earlier mentioned, There is only one 1/48 scale Catalina and it was originally produced by Monogram and has since been released a half dozen times or so by Revell (once in a Pro Modeler release). It also seems to have been released by Hasegawa although I have never seen the Hasegawa release in person. So any After Market items made for a Revell, Pro Modeler, Monogram or Hasegawa Catalina should work on any of the others as they are all the same kit.
One trick I don't know if you know. Before using photoetch parts, pass them lightly over a flame or strong heat source. Just some seconds. That makes the metal far easier to bend to form.
Enjoyed the build, but I have a suggestion. Slow down. The reason your wheel wells did not stay in place is because of the paint on them. You had white paint on the mounting surface and green paint on the interior. You need to sand that away so the extra thin cement can get in there and "melt" the plastic together. If there is paint present all you are doing is gluing paint to paint. Just take your time, there is no rush.
Actually the shape of these wheel wells untouched at a couple points. I didn't quite have time to actually explain that in the video. As there were only 3 points the plastic actually touched wich os why I suggested epoxy as the epoxy would fill in that gap and be rock solid. But yes on any other surface I usually just scrape it off with a tothpic
One of the big flaws of the Monogram/Revell kit is the tail. The fin and rudder are waaaaaay too thick by scale. BelcherBits makes a resin replacement, it's worth it, one thing I did was to hollow it out so it didn't add so much weight back there.
3 pounds of weight, I highly doubt it. 3 pounds would mean the equivalent weight of 12 quarter pounder cheese burgers. 3 ounces makes sense. Other than that, a really nice job done
It really was 3lbs man. I put 3/4 pack of wheel weights in there and triple checked the weights it was just under 48 puces. Then I had to add 2 fishing wights in the front cause it just wouldn't sit on its nose.
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379The problem with your weight was that it was not in the nose. You were being beaten by centripical force. The farther from the large landing gear you put the weight the less you have to use.
There is no 1/48 PBY other than the Revell/Monigram kit. In the initial intro you say the PE is for the "other" kit when it clearly states "for Revell" on the front.
@@scaleresurrectionmodeler7379 Ok, what I was trying to say was that there is only one manufacturer of the Cat in 1/48 scale. The Monogram original tooling of the PBY and PBY-5A range is the only one out there. The Hasegawa was a Revell/Monogram rebox so the PE will fit all of them, unless of course you try to fit the undercarriage upgrade to a PBY lol. The OA designation was just used by the USAAF and USAF. Nice job on those belts BTW!!

It's not the mistakes we make, just like in life, it's how we recover from them.
Nothing is permanent in model building.
We can fix all of them.
2 ft. of wingspan, huh?
1st time I saw this kit a Buddy and myself unboxed one in a Nissan/Dodge something or other.
For those that don't know, this kit box is bigger than an extra large pizza box.
We wound up getting out of the car with parts and sprue trees all over the place.
Modeling at its finest.
