Very nice, I like the weathering on the undersides, it's hard to get a right balance on the flying boats 👍

That is a nice Catalina out of the box. As you weathered the underside already you may consider extending the weathering a bit more up unto the water line. A light panal highlighting might make the top side look a bit less uniform. But I like the way she looks right now too.

Thank you Łukasz and Michael. It was my first try doing weathering on a flying boat and couldn't find good examples online so this is what i thought would look good. But next time i think will go with your advices, Michael 🙂

You did a good job. Online you find mostly modern planes in good shape or bw-pics of used ones. With them it is indeed difficult to get an idea. The "Weathering Magazine" has a special issue covering seaplanes. I find that quite useful.

Thanks again Michael for your compliment and for your valuable advice. I'll definitely take that into account next time.
