The purpose of this upgrade was to fix the too small nacelles and engines. There was a noticeable difference in the kit engines when compared to the RedRoo resin. The correctly sized resin engines where certainly bigger and the detail was that much better.
Getting the firewalls, cowl flaps, engines, and cowlings on was very fiddly. First thing I did was fill the spaces for the resin carburetor air intakes because the RedRoo set is for a later PBY-5/5A. I used Tamiya 2-part epoxy and next day sanded it smooth. The kit air intakes fit just fine including into the cowl flap cutouts.
Thanks for looking…
