Catalina

10.9k Rub3n213  5.6 years ago

Hi guys this is my attempt at creating a Catalina, it really went way past the parts count I anticipated. It’s a little rough in some areas I rushed the finish trying to keep the parts count down. I would of also made a cockpit if the parts weren’t so high. It’s not completely accurate but I think it’s pretty good.

Has custom landing gear,
AG3 for landing gear, also since I made this on iPhone I couldn’t modify the front landing gear to be strong enough. So there’s a stock gear in front too, you’ll need to use AG3 and landing gear buttons both sorry.

VTOL neutral to top for the wing floats.

Takeoff speed is recommended around 140 mph

This lands on water, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it’s fat ass to take off of water.

8 rockets and 6 torpedoes.

Thank you to @Atgxtg for the modified T2000’s

    It isn't the most accurate of Catalina models I have seen but it's pretty damn near close to it. Wonderful job mate

    @Rub3n213 So that's what you wanted 170'' blades for! Nice. It looks like the PBY, which is known as the Catalina, Canso, Cat, Black Cat, Mad Cat, Dumbo, MOP, Y-Boat, Pig Boat. If you want the speficics for it try: http://pbycatalina.com/specifications/

    which has just about everything, right down to the 169" props.
