Coming along nicely John and thats a crazy looking Kodak!
I've just received my DVD copy of Destination Tokyo; there's a nice sequence (scene-menu "Rendezvous") of a PBY-5 making a water landing, "discharging the passenger" and taxiing for a takeoff.\ said:Yes John the old PBY is really taking shape. Nice Job. You have been busy. Lovely subject as well.Filmed a PBY, all brilliant white, in Jersey (GB) about 5 years ago both on the ground & in the air. But filming, otherwise I could have taken advantage of a free short trip.
Love to see one on the water. I think she is one of the most attractive aircraft ever built. Put her with the Fleet Royal Navy Harrier (not all the later editions through out the UK & USA they spoilt the lines).

I seem to have the patience; I don't seem to be able to avoid it, these things just happen and take mucho time! BTW, for sheer patience, have a look at this Monogram Pro-Modeller PBY by someone who has probably more patience (and a lot more skill) than I have; mucho customizing (which did not exist for the plastic models set 50 years or more ago):\ said:A Revell 1/48. Although John who knows who put the thing together & who manufactured it is any body's guess. But not to be pessimistic about it so far things are going well.Me thinks I will be complete before your model as there is a lot of work in your wooden model.
You must have lots of patience.
