Great Model! I particularly love how you used the 6x4 JSF canopys as the
catalina's blister fairings. You may want to think about making the wing a
plate or two thicker. This would eliminate the small wing droop your MOC is
showing and, depending on how you thicken it, could lend a more airfoil-like
shape to the wing.
