Hi Augie, I know this monogram classic from years ago. As far as I remember this is an excellent kit. The camo you choose will make this one perfect. Looking for more....

An A-4 !? This means the wingfold set for the PBY-5 has not yet arrived so the pink "Operation Petticoat" Catalina project is postponed ? 🙁
This is very sad news but don't you worry, I know it's not your fault, the wingfold set got probably lost in the mail or at the customs desk, just be patient for a couple more days and it will show up 😉
Meanwhile an A-4 will do, I like Scooters, have fun ...

I also have an A-4 kit 72nd scale from Fujimi that offers this scheme but it looked so weird that I didn't had plans to build and finish it like that. Now that I've seen the result on Augies model it looks cool and attractive so that option is choice N° 1. I do hope it will have the same effect on a 72nd scale model as not all camo patterns are effective on small scale models, time will tell. Good job Augie, I like this one a lot, good work 🙂
What 2 main colours did you use? Are they toned down or straight from the paintpot? The contrast looks very nice...
