Thanks, Dave. Steve designed a great model, so much so that I'll probably also do a PBM-3 in blue-gray over light gray in the future.
Love the bottom pic, very realistic. REP gun jammed but deserved of some.
See you on the Dark Side......
The book I used as my primary reference (Martin PBM Mariner by Steve Ginter) also has a picture of a VP-18 Mariner adrift and with its crew awaiting rescue after being shot down by Japanese fighters in May 1945, so there are definitely scenario possibilities available for these flying boats.
Beautiful work Darryl. Now, what are the gaming stats?
