This model has received great reviews. I am looking forward to building it over this coming winter. My father was a radioman/gunner on a PBM-5 on Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) in the Caribbean in the 1945. My most difficult task was finding the theatre correct colors for the airplane. With great assistance from the US Navy Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL, my problem has been solved.

Buy now if you can. This is an excellent plastic scale model of a WWII US Navy Patrol Flying boat which is becoming very hard to find. The kit can be built either at the PBM5 flying boat or the post war PBM5a Amphibian ( if you chose the latter you will be able to use the kit national markings but need some new decals with the right serials for a 5a - you may also want to download the 5a assembly instructions from the Minicraft we site ). Not a cheap kit ( used to retail for about £45 it’s never the less a very good one and you get what you pay for

Minicraft models are or were part of the Academy make of model kits and academy kits are a pleasure to make! I have opened the box and found that each sprue is in a bag of its own! each part has little no no flash (extra material to be removed) and is moulded full of detail! I have not yet built this kit but i certainly am looking forward to it!
