Eduard 48826 PBY-5A floats 1/48 REVELL – Accessory Set for the Catalina Model

The Eduard 48826 PBY-5A floats set in 1/48 scale has been specially designed as a high-quality accessory dedicated to the PBY-5A Catalina model by REVELL. This set belongs to the prestigious line of Eduard photo-etched add-ons, renowned for their exceptional precision and for enhancing the detail level of the finished model to meet historical accuracy standards.

The PBY-5A Catalina is an American flying boat introduced in the 1930s. The aircraft was used primarily by the United States, but also by the air forces of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the USSR, and other Allies. The Catalina became famous during World War II, serving as a patrol aircraft, search and rescue (SAR) plane, for anti-submarine warfare, and as a transport. Widely used in the Pacific and Atlantic, it participated in rescue operations, patrolled convoy routes, and took part in combating the German U-boat fleet, among other roles.

The Eduard 48826 set offers photo-etched details made of high-quality metal, faithfully reproducing the original elements of the Catalina's floats in its amphibious version. Owing to photo-etching technology, details such as reinforcements, ladders, and technical surfaces on the floats are much finer and more realistic than standard plastic components. The set includes all the necessary parts to mount the floats onto the wings of the REVELL model, ensuring exceptional authenticity and compliance with historical reality.

This product is intended for self-assembly and painting. It is especially recommended for advanced modelers and enthusiasts of military aviation from World War II who value a high level of realism and detailed rendition. This set allows you to give your model a unique character and makes it stand out at any modeling competition or exhibition. Assembly requires basic modeling tools and additional skills related to working with photo-etched parts.
