Very nicely done. Anyone know what material that was that looked like thin metal sheet used to cover the lower fuselage? I cannot imagine that is really is metal because of the weight that would add. Then again, what else would look like that?

There was also that beautiful Catalina in the background of the workshop , which sadly fell victim to interference and dived into the ground on approach. Remarkable works of art
