PBY-5/5A/ OA-10A Catalina propellers, engines & cowlings (open engines bay)

Bernhard Schrock
I really like the Catalina, but unfortunately I won't build the model in 1:48 because I just don't have room for the finished model 🙁. Should I therefore do without this extraordinary set? A clear no! 🙂

It definitely has room in my aircraft museum.

It is a masterpiece of 3-D design and magnificently implemented in 3-D printing. The depth of the details is incredible. On the outside the rivets are very finely represented, and in some places in two rows as in the original. Even the two screws on the pipe shoves (exhaust system and intake system) are present on the cuffs!

They are the best radial engines I have seen in my life. The ignition cables, two pieces per cylinder, go away from the ignition ring to the individual cylinders in the correct pattern or at the right places. Between the two cables of a cylinder, a bracket is modeled approximately in the middle of the path, just like in the original.

All oil circulation lines are present between the cylinders.

On the back of the attachments are all hydraulic lines, hoses and electrical lines.

I could write here two A 4 pages about the detailing and add a link to my album Luftfahrtmuseum.

Very highly recommended.
