Several colour scheme's applied on the PBY-5 Catalina.
These scheme's are meant for illustration purposes only. The size and type of used fonts of the serials, the size of the roundels etcetera might not be correct, but are as good as possible a simulation of the original.
Further there are many differences between individual aircraft regarding antennas, exhaust and also markings like squadron markings.
Many aircraft had black anti-fouling applied on the undersides of the fuselage.
Just in case you want to built a Dutch Catalina, check you references very well!
