Yes, it's really good looking! Are you planning on building Doubting Thomas PB4Y-2?

Thanks guys. Where can I find DT's PB4y-2, sorry it doesn't seem that I know of his plane? Could it be in the download section, I'll find out. But Kancho has one in about 8 different markings. I have been studying them and have found that his design needs double effort - building frames first and skinning them later. Perhaps I'll how DT's look like and then decide.

Oh dear me, I thought you were referring to the Catalina. This Privateer by RT is one that I envy very much as he has done a really good job. Not sure as I have quite a few others to complete, maybe later. Anyway, thanks for directing me to the relevant building thread.

Beautiful! It sure was a good-looking airplane and your model does it full justice.

The next Japanese navy reconnaissance seaplane, No. 25 in the 1/200 series, is a free download from www.geocities.jp/papercraft_etsutan/ise000.html the Aichi E16A Zuiun, aka, Paul, which is originally a 1/400 model. I have upscaled it to 1/200. It's an easy build and I should have put weights in the front part of the floats. Now it looks like a tail sitter.

To finish with the Japanese navy planes, No. 26 in this series is Suisei, aka, Judy, Yokosuka D4YS, also from papercraft etsutan. And also 1/400 originally upscaled to 1/200. Modification is necessary to make the curved engine cowling. Other than this, it is again an easy build. So, papercraft etsutan has gone a marvelous job on this free download.
On the contrary, GPM has a 1/200 Judy freebie but the engine cowling part is aweful and cannot be constructed smoothly. The prop cone is just as bad. Maybe I'll show it after I have finished it. The printing is good though, it is a very disappointing freebie. Really, I don't blame this one on my building skill. You wouldn't know how many times I tempted to discard it and throw it into the bin. Papermate |
