About product

PBY-3/PBY-4 Catalina: engine cowlings with closed flaps, 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set from the brand Quickboost (from the Aires workshop). It is not an aircraft model but an accessory intended to improve the base Consolidated PBY-3/PBY-4 Catalina plastic kits from Academy and Hobby 2000 in 1:72 scale. The set replaces the engine cowlings with correctly shaped resin parts with closed cooling flaps, that is, with the smooth, closed cowling an engine typically shows in flight.

What the set is for

The engine nacelles and cowlings are among the characteristic elements of the Catalina's silhouette and in the base kit they tend to be simplified in shape. This set replaces them with more accurate cowlings with closed cooling flaps and raises the realism of the model. For the build you need the matching base PBY kit from Academy or Hobby 2000: the accessory does not replace it.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove the remains of the mold release agent.
  • Cut off the casting blocks, level the mating faces and protect your airways when sanding resin.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), ideally with an activator.
  • The closed cowlings join up to the fuselage easily; fill the seams and unify the surface with a primer before painting.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the PBY-3/PBY-4 Catalina from Academy or Hobby 2000 in 1:72.
  • Those who want to show the engines with the cooling flaps closed (a build in flight, for example).
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin and cyanoacrylate glue.

FAQ

This set has the cooling flaps in the closed position (a smooth closed cowling, typically in flight). A variant with open flaps also exists: choose according to how you want to show the engines.

No, it is a detail accessory. You need the base PBY Catalina kit from Academy or Hobby 2000 in 1:72 scale.

With cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), ideally with an activator. Cement for plastic does not bond resin.
