Charles!!!
I WOULD LOVE FOR U TO START THIS THREAD ABOUT PBY'S...BUT LET'S START IT ON "THE SCALE MODEL SECTION" here on STUNT HANGER!
That SCALE FORUM SECTION IS "FILLED WITH WORLD CLASS CL SCALE BUILDERS AND FLYERS!" I couldn't agree more....that this is one of the most amazing airplanes with an equally AMAZING HISTORY!!!!
BYE THE WAY....LOVE YOUR PBY PAINTING! SIMPLY BBBBUUUUTTTTT FUL!
Sketch,
I forgot about that! That's long gone, did that one over 15 years ago, maybe 17. Actually a poor rendering of a similar painting, a better one actually and I can't remember the artist, somebody over the Pond. Told ya I like British stuff.

A PBY build Thread would be nice, and I know there are world class builders there that could pull it off. Didn't John Brodak place at the Nats with a scale something or other? What aircraft model, do you know? Has anyone built a scale PBY for CL? Has there been talk?
I hate to say this, but there are R/C PBY's here and about that would lend themselves to CL, but they are ARF's. I don't know the rules about building. Can you tear apart an ARF and do a redo, then enter it in a scale event? IDTS, "I don't think so."
Thing is I have this scale Gee Bee Z I built for R/C. I have to finish the thing, I feel so bad for it because I've lost some interest. The photo of the model has been Posted, but I like showing it. I put in alot of effort into this model. Does it show?
We have to chat a bit more about the PBY.
