Andreas Apostolopoulos AuthorThank you friends, its amazing how easy someone can build a model if it isn't oriented for contests 🙂

Denis DogadovGreat job, I really liked it!
But something had to be done with the engine hood, but only I can see it because I built this model. 😊

Andreas Apostolopoulos AuthorYou are right Denis. Since it was for a friend and not something that needed special care and attention it got left as it was in the kit. 🙂

Michael KohlYou mind elaborating? I have a PBY-5A in the making and might still be able to tackle the issue. Or is it fixed with the Quickboost cowlings and props?

Denis DogadovIf you have purchased a Quickboost, then the problem has already been solved.
I solved this problem myself.

Andreas Apostolopoulos AuthorYes it is resolved using the Quickboost cowlings and exhausts. As I said before, it was a gift and not something for aftermarkets to be used. More over if I would use them, the receiver would never figure it out neither understand the difference. So there was no point. I will use them on mine though!
