Posted by Darryl Eggins I'll give the mix a go and see what I come up with. Roundel blue would roughly equate to USN Sea Blue I think. Thanks for your help. --Previous Message--

Thanks Dick,

: roundel blue and "Night: IE matt black.
: 1/48 PBY kits have been available but may
: not be readily available in the shops at the

: Hi,would anyone be able to help out with the
: following: Im making a model of RAAF
: Catalina A24-39 which crashed in Port
: Stephens on 24 May 1943. The model will be
: donated to the local museum. I think the
: aircraft may have been from 3OTU at
: Rathmines. I need any information on a RAAF
: colour known as 'ocean blue' (prefer
: corresponding acrylic brand numbers if
: possible!). I have the camouflage scheme
: from Geoff Pentland's book - his book states
: colours as night undersurfaces, with ocean
: blue and extra dark sea grey camouflaged
: upper surfaces. Also squadron serial code
: letters for this aircraft if possible or
: where I might find that information.
: Finally, the size (diameter) of the roundels
: on RAAF Cats at that time. As far as I know
: there are no sets of RAAF catalina decals,
: so will use closest corresponding sets
: available. Not asking for much am I? Any
: assistance would be greatly appreciated. The
: kit is 1:72 scale as I wasn't able to find a
: PBY-5 in 1:48. Cheers.
