Murph's Models - Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina - Argeninta, beta build

**papermate** · #1 09-19-2015, 10:39 PM

The latest seaplane from Murph's Models is the very colourful cat from the Argentina Navy. Originally scaled at 1/48, I reduced it by 70% for obvious purposes, meaning 1/69, to tie in with my cats collection. Chrome or silver paper is used as a mixed paper media to reflect the glossy effect of relevant section of the fuselage of this Argentina cat. Though I tried to avoid messing up with the shiny surface of the parts by covering them with sticky tapes during the building stage, somehow I didn't achieve a result of my own expectation. So do excuse me for the flaws that you'll see upon scrutiny.

Thanks YOAV, the original parts are grey but I changed it to silver because of the icon picture that Aaron placed on his site. That one looks like plastic so I thought why not make it look as shiny as plastic.
