Following,...
Made a rescue dio with a Catalina myself some years ago - so I'm curious how you set it up... The start was already great 👍

@Oliver @Juergen
I agree on that. That is about the feel of the scene I would like to convey too.

Really liking you details and scratch work, and the painting is looking very good too. The views into the interior really add lots, and are worth the extra care you took 👍🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing the next stages 🙂

Praying for more bad weather, as the diorama seascape looks tremendous already 👍🙂

Looking awesome. Will almost be a shame to bury that nice looking blue under the black. 👍

that is super impressive !! I will try to get inspired from your amazing work of the interior and chipping. Btw what chipping material and varnish you used ?

@James: you are right. Sometimes I have second thoughts about the black. But my mind is set: it will turn black 🙂.
@Pierre. Thanks for your kind words. Concering my technique: I learned the hard way to seal my basic paint with a good coat of varnish (Humbrol or Tamiya clear varnish) to protect it from the following steps. In the past I used decanted hair spray as chipping fluid but switched to MIGs chipping medium for this build. I am disappointed by it. Basic consistency is more honey like and does not go through my gun. Thinning it with water does noch leave a nice even coat is I had with hair spray. Probably the mistake is all mine, but I have not figured out, what and where I did them. Another important lessen was to spray only thin coats of paint and not not wait too long before you start the washing process. Adhearance to these concepts made weathering of the hull easier than on the wing. On the wing I used Windex to soften the paint. As I did not have good success with a stiff brush I start my weathering with an old tooth brush. Its stiffness, yet flexibility prooved to be a good setup to wear down the paint initially. As soon, as wear shows I switch to a stiff brush to modulate the effect. When your done add another coar of varnish.
Puh, a lot of text. Hope it is clear enough and helps you avoid a few of my difficulties.
@Jürgen: Thanx, stay tuned.

Hi Simon, thanks for your encouraging words. Now that the project sat at the side for a while it is time to tackle the next hurdles. Namely finishing the machine guns at the aft compartment so that I can finally mount the bubble canopies and go on then with painting.

Oh Boy. It is really that long ago that I didn't commence. Shar, your like for the project refreshes my motivation to continue this one soon. And a late thanks to Thomas for the positive feedback.

Better check this one out, it's on the future list- I built it years ago and seem to remember it went well-yours too?

Hi Andy. The build didn't pose any problems whatsoever. Fit was really nice. Exterior detail is quite good. Interior detail is pretty basic - particularly around the blisters. I suggested an upgrade kit to CMK. Let's see whether they pick up the idea.

By the time I come 'round to building mine, they may have commissioned an aftermarket?!

Well, let's cross fingers. The Catalina is quite a popular plane after all and the kit is rereleased once in a while. So there should be a market for it.
