It's a nice looking plane, that's for sure. I hope the old 1/144 Airfix kit I found has the same presence.

A front row seat please! Watching with great interest. P.S. After reading the novel by Ken Follet (Night over water) I'm a great fan of this flying boat. 🙂

Thanks gentlemen😊!
I almost start to like the 'resin challenges' that Anigrand produces..
@Carlo: the Airfix kit has the same and maybe even better presence.. The Anigrand version seems to have a more bulbous nose, and during the search for detailed photo material of this plane on the Internet (not easy..) I see more similarity in shape with the Airfix kit.
I wish I had the 1:144 Airfix decal sheet in 1:72 scale, as I need the 'Pan American Airways System' text and logo's.
Still thinking how to get that done🤔

@Bernhard: 😬Nice, I like reading and searched for the title you mentioned… Very interesting, thanks! I will try to order this book.
I watched a short doc on YT lately about a Clipper that 'accidentally flew around the world'.. recommended!

Hi Cuajete, yes I did finish it 2 weeks ago. Also finishing some other long time project-kits (Amodel Il-76 and the 1:72 Carvair conversion), so to be continued.

😊Thank you all!
Still needs finishing touches, like little paint corrections, thin steering cables from fuselage to tail, PAA decals and a final clear coat.
@Cuajete: Yes, all windows are black except the cockpit windows and the little dome on the top fuselage. But as there's no interior and it was my intention to make this kit a desktop model, so it's ok this way..

Do you know whether they are still in business? Last update on their homepage is Dec 2020 and they request the files in Corel Draw.

@Michael
SVG format should work too, as they mention "or another vector based drawing program".
That is the native format of Inkscape, and the INTERFLUG logo is available on Wikipedia as SVG file. You can modify it further, e.g. remove the lettering.

Thank you all mates😊!
@Tini Hendriks: thanks for the tip! I will give it a try if my decals can't be used👍🏻
