Consolidated PBY5A Catalina

The model of the Catalina in 1/32nd scale, is built to the exacting standard of the HPH Models, including the fuselage with fully equipped interior and with the wing detachable at the assembly joints of the full-scale plane, enabling easier handling of the finished model. The main parts of the airframe are made of fibreglass, the fuselage has moulded details on the outside as well as on the interior walls - the internal structure. The parts are completely ready for assembly with milled openings for canopy and transparencies, undercarriage, control surfaces etc. Other parts are vacuum-cast of polyurethane resin. The transparencies are also cast from superbly clear plastic, as you certainly know from our other models. The kit will be equipped with our standard accessory sets, produced by Eduard and HGW Model – photo-etched frets, including those with sprayed on colours, the safety harnesses and rest bunks made of laser-cut fabric, masks for spray-painting all transparencies and the extra large national insignia. The kit has also the weight contoured to fit in the nose, to keep the model standing properly. The electronic building instructions will lead you in a detailed way through the demanding construction/building process , including the direct references to the actual shape and colours using the "walk around" style of documentation of individual sections. The model kit contains, besides the Dutch Markings two alternative colour schemes with appropriate decals and masks.

As a bonus Aviation megastore includes Dutch decal set DD32020 for even more Dutch options
