I’ve been on the hunt for decals or at least a solid photo reference to work from for a 1:48 Canso (amphibious Catilinas to everyone else), though the tough part is I’m trying to find one I know was built in Vancouver or served on the West coast of Canada during the war because my Grampa worked on them at the boeing factory at Sea Island (Vancouver) during that time. I found one plans here that fits the bill at http://seaisland1.homestead.com/Boeing.html but the photo’s not all that great and I don’t know what the upper surfaces would have looked like, just white or cammo? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s something:http://www.rcaf.com/aircraft/features/canso_catalina/index.php
Thanks dogsbody, it’s funny how hard it’s been to find enough info on a single aircraft to feel confident on getting all the details right, I think I’m have to be content with a couple guesses on accuracy.
