  The Catalina Flying Boat was one of the most famous and recognizable
airplanes of the Second World War.  It served with distinction in all theatres
of the war as a submarine hunter and as a rescue aircraft for downed allied
flyers.  This model by Guillows authentically captures the looks of the full
scale PBY in massive 1/28th scale to allow a highly detailed display model to
be built.  This kit is NOT intended to be flown with any kind of motor.

FEATURES: The structure of the kit is all balsa and the fuselage formers and
            wing ribs are die cut.
          Many white and clear plastic vacuum formed parts to duplicate the
            engine cowlings and nacelles, nose, wing tip floats, prop hubs
            anti-submarine bombs, canopy, fuselage waist gun blisters and
            more.
          Option to build amphibious PBY5-A or seaplane PBY5
          Large waterslide decal sheet.
          Scale wheels for PBY5-A
          Full size plan sheets with instructions

INCLUDES: The model can be completed without covering or the included tissue
            covering may be applied.  Instructions for using the tissue are
            included.
          Decals for both PBY-5 and PBY-5A versions
          Printed detail sheet to represent cockpit, engines and interior.

REQUIRES: Glue: Use CA (thin or medium) for the balsa parts and white glue
             for the clear parts (ordinary CA tends to fog clear plastic)
          Dope: Use clear dope PACR1365 to apply the tissue covering.  Once
            dry the tissue may be painted with polyurethane or other paint to
            produce an authentic scale finish.
