At Fiberglass Warehouse, we're constantly amazed by the incredible projects our customers create. It's one thing to supply high-quality materials, but it's another to see them used to build something truly spectacular. Today, we're shining a spotlight on a project that impressed us all: a large, 13-foot wingspan model of a PBY-5A Catalina aircraft.

This masterpiece was crafted by one of our talented customers, Gene, who poured immense skill and dedication into every detail. The result is a realistic and structurally sound model that pays homage to one of history's most iconic amphibious planes.

The Build: Fiberglass and Epoxy in Action

To achieve the smooth, durable finish required for a large-scale model, Gene turned to a classic combination: 1.5 oz fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin.

Looking at the finished product, it's clear that the choice of materials was perfect. The sleek, gray fuselage and impressive wingspan are a testament to both the builder's skill and the reliability of fiberglass composites.
