"Very nice model"
tom55wood
This was a nice kit, fairly easy, make sure you put enough weight in the front!! I would definitely recommend it.

 
"Catalina PBY"
dennisshamel
Great model to build with many options for theater of war or paint schemes. Make sure to put some fishing weights or what not in the front as it is a tail sitter when normally built.
