Topic: help needed to indetify catalina kit manufacturer or details

dear  all

in about 1996 i bought a fibreglass catalina kit from sandown. It has a 9 foot span with fibreglass fuselage and centre pod

I have finally started to build it and running in to a few problems - all the plan mentions is authentic mouldings - doess anyone know this kit or have any experience building it

wil post picks as we go

brought in by Chiltern models,  sadly,  either the owner, or his wife died,  and the business finished,   i think the kits where from new zealand, the proprietor's home country

Welcome to the forum Gorby..we don't have problems on this forum. We have answers waiting to be found...I can guarantee someone will be able to guide you in the right direction..Catalina, one of my all time favourite aircraft.

cheers - that's right it was chiltern models - i knew it related the hills but could not know which

does anyone know of any one who has built one - what to look out for and where to source the undercarriage

we want to have retractable undercarriage ansd be able to fly from water - we are already taking moulds of the fuselage so that we can get everything water tight

Can't wait to see some pic's of this one, this is one of my favourite twins and is on my to do list.
