discussion Pb2-y5 coronado 1/72

Ahoy here I another vacuform kit I built I built this 47 years ago its the Sutcliff kit made in England another hair puller of a kit, most vacuform kits don't come with fuselage formers and wingspars they have to be incorporated by the modeler this is probably the main reason it draws most model builders away from vacuforms but to me its always a challenge The Coronado flying boat is a rare subject that is hardly modeled. Here is the Coronado. P.S. I will throw in a couple scratch built Martin Mars Flying Boats in two versions 1st one is the JRM-3 the version we know of today and the 2nd

Another stunning model Franklyn, an oldie but it looks as though it was made yesterday. Nice job.
