Finally got my stuff from Sprue Bros. UPS took forever and was delayed by weather. All aftermarket and paint for current and future builds.

Picked this up cheap on eBay - one of those 'make a lowball offer and they take it' deals.

As Winston called them, “The Scourge of the Atlantic”

Very NICE score! Such a classic aircraft.

I believe Carlos has the Trumpeter Condor I picked up for him several years back.

Thanks - looking forward to building. I want to do a Brit PBY as it's counter part for ship/uboat hunting in the North Atlantic

These showed up today

As an option to a PBY, Coastal Command also used Liberators and Flying Flortress’ as sub hunter patrol bombers… those aircraft look quite nice in the Coastal Command scheme..
