David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 1 July, 2024) I appreciate your enthusiasm in model-building. Tell us more broadly of your modelling interests, please. Several years past, I had the original version of this kit: the Revell Monogram 1:48th-scale Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina U.S. Navy Patrol Bomber Amphibious Seaplane. I also had Revell Monogram’s 1:48th-scale kit of the Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina U.S. Navy Patrol Bomber Seaplane. I cannot recall which I had acquired first. I sentimentally had preferred the pure seaplane version. The distinction between the PBY-5 and the PBY-5A is subtle in print (though visually, it is easier: beneath the 31.6992 metre [104 ft] wide parasol wing of the Army’s OA-10A and the Navy’s PBY-5A, one can see set into each side of the fuselage a rather prominent wheel). The PBY-5, an earlier variant, is a pure seaplane, able only of setting upon (and taking off from) the water, whereas the PBY-5A is an amphibious seaplane, its landing gear housed in watertight wheel bays for it to taxi onto land from the shore (and returning to the sea). The kit under discussion here, Consolidated’s OA-10A Catalina USAAF Amphibious Seaplane, is the U.S. Army’s version of the U.S. Navy’s PBY-5A Amphibious Seaplane. The aircraft maker had become so busy with demands for its B-24 Liberator Heavy Bombers that the War Department contracted the Naval Aircraft Factory to produce more of the seaplane, as well, which received the designation and name, “PBN-1 Nomad”. I understand these had significant modifications to Consolidated’s original PBY design (though as of this writing, I have yet to learn what these were). One would have to incorporate these changes into an accurate reproduction of the aircraft. I need a clarification: you note at 1:09 that some of the photo-etched detail sets may be for the Academy kit. Theirs is in 1:72nd-scale (as are the Airfix and an old Revell kits). As far as I know (I have looked!), only Revell Monogram make a 1:48th-scale kit of the PBY-5/5A Catalina USN/RAF/RCAF/RAAF Patrol Bomber Amphibious Seaplane. In enquiring online just now, all references to “Academy” and “Consolidated PBY-5/5A Catalina” show exclusively 1:72nd-scale, confirming my assessment. Similarly, the photo-etched detail sets for any PBY-5/5A Catalina kits of which I know are in 1:48th-scale. I know of none in 1:72nd-scale, though my wherewithal of any of that would be limited (in any case, such sets hardly would be interchangeable.) An issue that may be of interest to you is that in my digging online, I saw listings in e- retailers of two Academy 1:72nd-scale kits of Consolidated’s PBY-2 and PBY-4 Catalina Seaplanes; and a Revell 1:48th-scale kit of Consolidated’s PBY-5 Catalina Seaplane kit (all three making replicas-albeit in different scales-representing earlier variants prior to the aircraft manufacturer incorporating into the fuselage the tricycle undercarriage of what the War Department would designate the PBY-5A). Years ago, a Canadian aftermarket detail set maker created a conversion set re-making the Revell Monogram 1:48th-scale PBY-5A kit into a PBY-6A. As I understand it, only the Canadian military had deployed this variant: a documentary reference from a pilot and part-owner of a PBY-5A RAF aeroplane that whilst stationed in Scotland patrolled the shipment convoys from the eastern USA and Newfoundland; he mentioned that his plane’s manufacturer was Canadian Vickers, which continued production well sfter the war with its G-PBYA Canso RCAF amphibious seaplane, which included a taller vertical stabiliser, more powerful engines, etc. Similar aircraft intrigue me to some degree: Consolidated PB2Y Coronado USN antisubmarine/medical-hospital plane/transport/-patrol bomber flying boat Consolidated XPB3Y: a prototype of an extended version of the above Consolidated XP4Y Corregidor transport (and B-24 predecessor) PB4Y-1: Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator USN/RAF Maritime Patrol Bomber (double vertical stabiliser) PB4Y-2: Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer USN/RAF Maritime Patrol Bomber (single vertical stabiliser)

Step 1, cut a hole in the box...

Guys he is Litteraly talking to himself with an alien voice changer. WE NEED TO RESCUE HIM FROM THE MODELING VOID.

I finished up the academy one not too long ago (in the right scale) are you going to svamscon with us and displaying it together?

Hello mr. Resmo. As i am remembering the Blackbirds highest velocity is mach 3in km/h. Not 3000miles/h.with sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.faithfully yours.your modellmate.christian

What was the $20 Amazon drill you mentioned?

I simply detest that grey patern in a dauntless. I love the navy blue-grey-white patern. Seeing that model, I feel a sad wasting of chance to it. GOOD VIDEO, anyway. Positive point!

Nice, very helpful, look so easy...i like this landing gear wire, I use fishing string different type for it, painting work is awesome, especially shading and weathering...I will not use Tamiya's decals and camouflage but some of Eastern front JG 54

Maybe for control surface detail maybe you could put some copper wire down to make the airframe visible, in terms of detail, and maybe place some fabric on it. I’ve done it on a few of my later models like my B-24, F4F-3, etc. It turned out well, maybe you should try it.

What an amazing looking model!

I’ve been making models for quite a while, but I’ve never really been confident enough to paint them. This video did help quite a bit and the first model I painted turned out quite well, thanks for making such inspiring content!

No Normandie Niemen Planes. Hélas.

Valejho has a green primer?

Lou iv, was a P-51D-5, it had no tail fin

You did a fantastic job on it!! I am with you on the weathering part. Don’t do it much, have never liked to mess up a project like that.

Very, very nice work but I do have a couple of points for you: (Pointers, not criticisms) First is in the Cockpit - the Large rectangular block behind the pilot's seat, under the radios is actually ALWAYS an off-Black as it is a rubberised coating for the main fuselage Fueltank - Effectively a self sealing coating, which was not painted. The second point is something Tamiya should have noted: "LOU IV/Athlene" was a P-51D-5 NA, which was the First production block of D models. It had a different Instrument Panel Layout, closer to the B/C layout and there was no fin fillet at the base of the tail. (Compare the kit fuselage to the side of the box showing "LOU IV/Athlene"). Why they decided to include this option is a bit of a mystery as it is a rather hard-to-fix error as the Tailplane has very slightly higher up with a slightly different (2 degrees?) angle of incidence compared to the D10 block production and after. The Airfix 1/48 P51-D-5 kit (A-05138) has the filletless tail, the "Swayback" field- fitted-fillet (say THAT quick 3x!! ;-) ) And the standard factory fitted fillet parts, all in the one boxing. As a Bonus, the wheel well is accurate, unlike Tamiya's trench... And the IP is a new part too. Personally I hesitate to buy Quinta as I believe they are (or were) Russian made, although I heard they 'recently' relocated to ?Khazakhstan? Red Fox Studios is Hungarian, and do beautiful 3d cockpits.

Nice work, did you notice the comment about the wheels?

Hello mr. Resmo!splendid build you have done!,a nice little unique gem you have created.nice to see u unleashing your creative powers.thank u4ur efforts.and i appreciate the time u took detailing the kit.thank u4delivering fun excitenes and Inspiration and knowledge. It seems the fit is great.I want to give more than 1thumb up.but I cant.thats a pain in the ass.cause u deserve it.i love ur narration.keep it up.and keep the faith.i am looking forward to your future builds.with best regards and sticky greetings from Brandenburg/germany.matth 19/19mate!your modellmate.christian

Seatbelts? Nice build

Revel saved my debt but destroyed my mental health

Don’t clean it, work on the ground 👍🏻

Nice build, just that the wheels should be pointing the opposite direction.

I built that kit when it was made by Monogram in 1976.

That was a excellent build sir, I liked the idea of the leather around the 'dash board' that is probably missed a lot of the time,, best regards from Australia, Les

Loved the idea of PVA Glue on decals.

amazing build

I built this back in 2022 it was really good. Also question. From your experience would you rather hobby boss or Hasegawa. I cant choose but which is easier like the instructions and skill level

Weird question but from your experience in general which is better; Hobby boss or Hasegawa. I want a 1:48 a4 skyhawk but it’s made by both companies. I don’t want a really hard instructions booklet so in general what do you recommend.

You always know when a news outlet is Far Left when they call the opposition Far Right. A far left government is TOTAL government control which is what you have in China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and the E.U. A far right government is one where there is ZERO government control over anything and there are NO government like that anywhere on Earth.

👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😎

Great painting. What mask if you use one do you use for airbrushing? Thanks.

I just got the Vb last night. I'm amazed at how simple it is, last plane I built had over 300 parts! But I'm as bout ready to prime, think another round or ten of sanding 1st 😅

Would look even better if you bought an even more expensive airbrush.😂😂😂😂

Despite the troubles it gave you, it turned out great. A couple tips you might want to try is to get 2x water traps to attach to BOTH ends of your airbrush hose. My (cheap) compressor has one built in, but I still found water would make its way into the line. By having 2x more I eliminated this problem entirely. You may need to get some adapters as well, depending on the gauge of your hose connectors etc. Regarding the decals... never leave them to sit in water. This is a common mistake that I see people make, and while you may get away with it for a while, it will bite you in the arse eventually. Best method is to just dunk them (in warm water) for about 10 seconds with a pair of tweezers, then set them aside on a paper towel, and give it a minute or two for the adhesive to rehydrate and slip from the backing paper. Also a good idea to only do a couple at a time etc. Older thicker Tamiya decals sometimes require a second dunking and a little more time before they will separate. 👍

There's so many great manufacturers in the UK in 2024 that I'm quietly confident that I will never have to endure a Revell or Monogram kit. If I'm honest I don't think that I have ever seen a Monogram kit. I assume that they don't trade in the UK? 😊❤😊

There was also another box that was used when Mattel owned Monogram, around 1973 or so. Bought such a kit in 1974! The kit was far ahead of its' time for 1969 as far as accuracy and details go. Despite the newer Eduard and Hasegawa kits it is still quite good.

Je ne comprend rien à tes explications. Je regarde tes vidéos depuis des mois et c'est génial. Petit détail.... les traces d'huile sortie moteur c'est très bien.... Mais l'avion est très propre super bien peint partout et là c'est pas propre. Peut être faudrait il le salir ailleurs sur le fuselage.

I like the tinfoil idea.

Great video and build thanks for creating! I hear what you’re saying about detail that can’t be seen. Modelling is about enjoying the process as well as the end result so you’ll know it’s there regardless 😉. Great channel 👍🏻

Get a battery powered fly swater. Theres tutorials on youtube on how to turn them into static grass applicators.. just needs a tiny bit of soldering.

Hard to believe that was an Eduard kit, I think they sucker punched ya on thinking it would be a fun build. Have to hand it to you for sticking it out I would have put it in my firecrackers stash. It was such a small plane , you'd think that was a 1/72. The Chinese actually had some success agaisnt Japanese in pre WW2 attacks dog fights. Thanks for sharing that all kits aren't made equal :-)and its not the modeler.

I've been having a LOT of problems with Tamiya glue of late. Another kit I do NOT recommend is Dragon's old 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet.

wtf the music. unsubbe4d

glad to see it actually built of course the armor guy wins the airplane kit at roscoe turner, and it sits in the bottom of the closet until I gave it to you.

Hey, nice work. Really liked the narration and attention to detail. 🇳🇿📸

Cool video

Nice.

Nice job! I've been looking forward to building this kit on my channel, just started it. This was my first time visiting your channel so you now have a new sub. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your content. have a great week. -David

First, did you varnish these (both the Miss Marilyn II as well as the other model you show in this video, Big Beautiful Doll)? Second, if you did, did you go with gloss or matte varnish? It's pretty obvious you didn't use flat but I'm wondering if you used gloss or matte if, in fact, you did use varnish on them. Thanks.

dang he has talent, my only talent is torturing plastic
