Minicraft’s 1/72 PBM-5a Mariner

I picked up Minicraft’s new-tool Mariner kit from Hobby Lobby… not a bad bu with their 40% off coupon. I wanted to build something different. it’s turning out to be a great kit. if you do build it, be sure and read Michael Benolkin’s quick build review of this kit over at CyberModeler Online. His advice and notes are spot on based on my build experience, and though the kit is well engineered and generally fits good, his advice and tips will help keep you between the ditches.
