A Welcome Return? - Academy 1/72 Scale Martin PBM-5A Mariner Inbox Review Part 1/2
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Greetings all. Recently I did a inbox review of the Academy/Minicraft B-24, but its not the only reissue from Academy in 1/72 Scale. They also reissued the Minicraft PBM-5 Mariner, but is this kit actually good and worthwhile building or is it a bit of a cheap trick?

Being a nutter for flying boats this one is very much on my radar. Thanks for a good review fella. All the best.

I don’t blame you, I can remember as a 6 year old visiting New Zealand and seeing the Short Solent there! Amazing machines. Take care😁👍🏻
The emphasis in Mariner is on the first syllabul. It looks like a fine kit, though the box art makes me chuckle a bit. That must have been one huge depth charge they dropped!

Ahh thanks good sir! Definitely looking forward to building. Hahaha might be flying through a atom bomb test then😂 Thanks for watching😁
Two instruction manuals. Yikes!!! I too would pick the Australian version. Foliage green is a cool color for aircraft. Seems to be very elusive though!!! I've had to use colors close enough or try mixing my own version. Yuck!!!!

And I accidentally deleted my first and second reply! Yeah the two instructions are a bit messy for sure but oh well haha. Yeah I’m definitely doing the Aussie one, bit annoying they don’t have any instructions to convert it to a PBM-3 Transport like what we used, but all the parts except for the engines seem to be correct. As for Foliage Green Vallejo have a colour, Gunship Green which I think is going to be a good much, although given how weathered they are in pictures I suspect I may mix a few shades like you do to get some variety. Thanks for watching as always mate! I’ll see you on the next one😁👍🏻

I also accidentally removed @brenstratters2026 comment by acident😬 I haven’t heard of Outlaw Paints but I’ll have a look at them and see if it’s worth trying here in Australia. Thanks mate!
