Keeping the Catalina Flying: WWII Maintenance Scene in 1/72 scale

Update 21 brings a unique and highly detailed diorama set for one of the most iconic flying boats of World War II – the legendary PBY-5 / OA-10A Catalina.

RSF72-0111 recreates a realistic maintenance scene with everything you need to bring your Catalina to life on the ground (or water base):

2 engine maintenance platforms, designed to fit the Catalina’s high-mounted engines

5 service crew figures – posed in natural, working positions for an authentic maintenance scenario

Perfect compatibility – tailored for Academy, Revell, and Wolfpack kits

The Catalina wasn’t just an aircraft – it was a long-range workhorse that required constant care in remote bases around the world. This set lets you capture that story: mechanics servicing engines, crews preparing for the next patrol, and the quiet moments between missions.

Perfect for Pacific Theater dioramas, seaplane bases, or weathered operational scenes.

Available now at ResKit.
