Modellbau PBY Catalina

- 12th July 2018

Exceptional work, Brian! I spent 4 months building a PBY with a 5' wingspan... very gratifying, but yours is the real deal!

I have a Modellbau large scale PBY Kit with Moki engines - unbuilt... probably a 108" wingspan... do you know anyone who might be interested in this kit? I don't have the time to build the thing and am quite happy with the smaller version and would love to find a good home for this. Thanks for any direction you may be able to offer - and again, really great work!
A totally believable Catalina

Absolutely brilliant Brian. Not only the build accuracy and detail, but the sheer believability that is evident when flying. It is just like looking at the real thing. Congratulations. Great maiden flight take off and landing.
Catalina PBY Australian Version

I have a Model of the Australian version. It is in great condition and bears the name 'QANTAS'on the port wing and 'VH-EBD' on the starboard wing.
If interested contact me at "marianeil@westnet.com.au" . I live in Canberra ACT at 1 Culgoa circuit O'MALLEY ACT 2606. Ph 02 6286 3062. Cheers, Neil Garvey 8-6-2017
Catalina PBY Australian Version

- 08th June 2017

I have the Model of the Australian version and it is in great condition. It bears the name 'QANTAS' on the topside of the port wing and 'VH-EBD' likewise on the starboard wing. It is cream in colour from above and silver from below... It has two engines, wheels (3).
It was made by 'Boyle' and carries the number "2011". Armaments - Machine gun-type turret behind wings each side, and again on the nose. Looks like something on the wings outside of the engines. Tail rudder also has VH EBD markings (slightly scratched). Each wing has a float on outer edge, the whole thing looks authentic.

I'm next

I love PBY's. Have the plans to build one also, just collecting all the pieces, will be emailing Sturla soon for parts. NICE FLIGHT by the way.
Nice work and good landing

- 10th April 2015

Can see that you put many, many hours of hard work into building that model Brian. Fantastic detail. Nice landing on maiden flight would have been a relief !
