Fixing the Classic: PBY Catalina Accuracy Upgrades!

Update 22 brings two essential correction sets for anyone tackling the classic 1/48 scale Revell / Monogram / Eduard PBY-5 / PBY-5A / OA-10A Catalina kit. While this legendary kit remains the go-to large-scale "Cat," it has a few well-known shape inaccuracies—until now.

RSU48-0422 - PBY-5/5A/OA-10A Catalina correct tail for Revell/Monogram/Eduard kit (3D Printed) (1/48)

The original kit's tail suffers from incorrect proportions and shape issues that detract from the iconic silhouette of the famous flying boat. Our fully 3D-printed Correct Tail set is a drop-in replacement that perfectly captures the complex curves and correct geometry of the Catalina's empennage.

RSU48-0644 - PBY-5/5A/OA-10A Catalina corrected rear part of engine nacelles for Revell/Monogram/Eduard kit (3D Printed) (1/48)

Another area where the classic kit struggles is the transition behind the twin radial engines. Our Corrected Rear Part of Engine Nacelles set fixes the awkward shape of the kit parts, providing a smooth, accurate aerodynamic profile behind the cowlings.

Museum-Quality Realism

Combined, these two 3D-printed sets address the most glaring shape issues on the 1/48 Catalina, allowing you to build an accurate representation of the US Navy's most famous patrol bomber without hours of sanding, filling, and scratch-building.
