I am a bit sceptic on the catalina's.... you sure those were fitted on it?
also note that the land landing gear version was only the PBY-5A, which was introduced in 1941..... and IIRC she carried P2Y's instead.
other then that, very nice!

Yes, you're right. My reference for the catalina's is this picture. I'll make some modifications to change them. On a side note when she was sunk in 1942. she was carrying P-40 Warhawks to Java.

One thing that comes to my mind hovewer, is that if it's 1930, then it's bit too early for Grumman F2F.
Thanks for spotting that. I've taken it out.

Those don't look like Catalina's to me, too small and some look like biplanes. I'm not familiar with US flying boats but they look similar to the Supermarine Walrus

Thanks Ace for your tip for the P2Y's. I've updated the drawing.

Even better now that it's got the Rangers! Once again, a beautiful drawing, of a beautiful ship!

Thanks guys. I love this ship too... a real trailblazer. I'm thinking of doing the Jupiter but my sources are not the best.
