Building a (Incorrect?) RAAF Flying Boat - Academy 1/72 Martin PBM-5 Mariner Full Build + Review 2

Greetings all, In this video I finally build the recently reissued 1/72 scale Academy Martin Mariner. I wanted to do this aircraft with the RAAF decals which are included in this kit, however as you will see there are some issues with this...

I hope you guys enjoy this video, if your a fellow Australian and want to buy some kits checkout Techtonic Hobbies - https://techtonichobbies.com.au
