Metal Earth Consolidated PBY Catalina "Miss Pick Up" Steel Model Kit 79 Parts

Steel model kit for display

This 79-part steel kit builds a Consolidated PBY Catalina amphibious aircraft in the "Miss Pick Up" United States Army Air Forces livery. The model is officially licensed and reproduces the airworthy example preserved at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. Moderate difficulty makes it suited to adult hobbyists who enjoy detailed assembly. No glue or paint is required, though tweezers are recommended.

For collectors who want a finished shelf piece

Adults seeking a compact, historically accurate military aircraft model will appreciate the true-to-scale exterior detail and included display stand. The kit arrives in a brand-new box with manufacturer's original packaging. Builders who prefer snap-together plastic kits, motorised features or models with opening panels should look elsewhere, as this model has no openings and requires manual tab-and-slot construction.

79 steel parts, moderate difficulty

The parts count and difficulty rating are the primary indicators of build time and complexity. Assembled dimensions are approximately 8.3 inches long, 5.3 inches wide and 2.8 inches high. The model represents a specific U.S. Army Air Forces aircraft lost to enemy action in March 1945. No adhesive or finishing materials are needed to complete the kit.
