I want to share some photos I took some years ago at the NNA Museum in Pensacola Florida. Do I hear HPH-Models cutaway Catalina or to put it short Cutalina. It is not much, but it might help detailing your Cat's Greetings Rob

Hello Danny, nice progress in this build. Your work with the Cockpit and Engine look pretty well. Its a shame that almost everything of the detail is hidden. One remark about the inside color of the engine area, I believe that area should be painted interior green. The pinkish-salmon color which you really hit on the mark should be applied only in the area of the rear wheel and the inner wing structures. I build the Tamiya Corsair a while ago and really liked the kit. I decided to add a lot of AM like the Brassin Engine and Cockpit. The Resin-Cockpit is a piece of art and the engine as well but the latter turned into a little nightmare for me. After finishing and painting the engine i tried to fit it i the fuselage in a way that it would be possible to remove the engine cowlings and show the engine details. Even after thinning the original plastic cowlings it was impossible to get the result. I decided to give the Eduard PE cowlings a try and was bending and soldering with the result, that fit was good but there was no way to snap fit the cowling parts for easy removal. In the end I glued everything in place and was in a bad mood for days. Greetings Rob
