Spotlight Review

"PBY-5A Catalina"

semalevik (Russia)

It was my first introduction to Airfix. To be honest, after tamiya and Hasegava this set would throw in the trash. Main parts of the fuselage, wings the curves.Glazing lamp and all without binding. It is present on the fuselage and wings just outside rivet. If the glue wing strut as is, the wing is curved. Build and give play to the child, the collection is not put. It is better to buy a model from another manufacturer
