    If anyone has the EagleCal decal sheet #126, I would be interested in a photo/scan of the Comments area from the instructions.

  2. So I have been very quite lately... Lack of modelling mojo really hasn't helped! But finishing this has! Wingnut Wings latest kit, The Post War Bristol Figther...

     

    I used a mixture of Tamiya, Mr Color and Vallejo paints. Wood Grain was done using AK Interactive products. For rigging, I used EZ Line and the RAF Thread that you can get off Wingnut Wings.

     

    Scheme is of the New Zealand Permanent Air Force during the 1930's.

  3. Your asking some questions that I wanting to know sometime soon Paul!

     

    I would think the Cockpit would be the same.. But I am not sure myself. and the other area would be the interior area where the main wheel housing are located.

     

    There are few Catalina's that don't have the "Bugeye" Turret fitted...

     

    NZ4047 arrived Fiji 15 September 1944. Served with 5Sdn at Espirito Santo as PA-C and then postwar to Lauthala Bay as KN-B with the reformed 5Sdn.

    I have seen more,  but I can't remember where... I have been told that 6 Squadron photo album is stored at the National Archives across from my wifes work. I have been meaning to go and have a look at it.

     

    But personally I am wanting to do a Bugeye Catalina, So I asked my workmate to start doing this...
