Product Description
This High Planes set includes the parts needed to correct the undersized nacelles and cowls of the Academy Consolidated PBY-4 Catalina kit. It represents the most common engine arrangement for the PBY-4, with the oil cooler on the upper nacelle. Some PBY-4 airframes, notably those flown by the RAAF, were fitted with the later underside oil cooler used on the PBY-5 and PBY-6. Refer to period photographs for details. For versions with the oil cooler under the nacelle, see our set HPA072092.
